The 20 Most Amazing Peaks around Darfo Boario Terme

Especially on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer period (but better always) booking is recommended as it is very popular, you feel really good about the portions, the price and the services.

Mount Altissimo is a mountain in the Bergamo Prealps, 1703 m high, located between the lower Val Camonica and the lower Val di Scalve. It is the highest peak of the mountain group that separates these two valleys and overlooks the Borno plateau. Two very different slopes Southern slope: steep, rocky, almost devoid of vegetation, with a difference in altitude of about 1500 m from the Oglio valley floor. Northern slope: gentle slope towards Borno, covered with fir trees and dotted with mountain huts, chalets and ski slopes of the Borno Ski Area. 🚶‍♂️ Hiking — The main itineraries Mount Altissimo is very popular with hikers thanks to the good network of trails (difficulty E). Here are the best-known and documented routes. 1) From Erbanno – Trail 197 or 155 A steep and challenging itinerary, with a significant difference in altitude. Trail 197: Start: Erbanno (Darfo Boario Terme) Passes through: small church of San Valentino (690 m), Malga Mine, junction with trail 194 From the cross: spectacular view of the lower Val Camonica and Lake Iseo Summit reachable in 15 minutes from the final junction Trail 155 (more direct and strenuous): Difference in altitude: about 1460 m Steep sections, some chains on a slightly exposed traverse Remarkable panorama of the meadows of "Segable" Arrival at the Monte Altissimo refuge and the ski lifts 2) From Gorzone – Trail 154 A wilder route on the south side, with a long and tough climb. 3) From Borno – North slope (ski slope areas) A gentler and more panoramic itinerary, often chosen for loop tours that include refuges, mountain huts and small churches (as in your story). 🏞️ What makes Mount Altissimo special Sharp contrast between the two slopes: one severe and rocky, the other gentle and wooded. Wide panoramas of the lower Val Camonica, Lake Iseo and Presolana. Network of mountain huts and chalets still active in summer. Presence of the Monte Altissimo refuge at the summit, also reached by ski lifts. Possibility of varied loop tours, combining woods, slopes, ridges and small isolated churches.

Welcoming refuge, very good value for money. E-bike charging

The Dosso Rotondo refuge is located in the Adamello Natural Park area, at about 1,900 meters above sea level. The structure is immersed in a breathtaking landscape, with a view of the surrounding peaks and the suggestive Lake Idro. Reachable via paths that wind through woods and alpine meadows, the refuge is an ideal place for a stop to enjoy typical dishes of the mountain tradition. Thanks to its position, it also offers numerous itineraries for those who want to continue towards other higher destinations or simply explore the surroundings.

Small open chapel at an altitude of 2085m, just above the Città di Clusone bivouac, in memory of the dead of Presolana, right under its majestic walls.

Clearly visible from all the surrounding paths, and also popular. I saw many hikers passing through in high season.

A little-rated destination, there is no cross or summit book! But the view is worth the entire journey made to reach it. Be careful if you choose to head here, because the path is poorly marked.

Reachable via the Creste di Montecampione, from Plan 1800 you follow the entire high street along the ridge, passing the round hill and continuing up to San Zeno sopra Pisogne. Spectacular views of Val Camonica, Val Trompia and the Po Valley.
