May 4, 2023,da Carona a Rifugio Calvi ad anello

A classic of Bergamo excursions, about which I have little to write. Went via the summer trail, but would advise against it for at least the next two weeks. In the final stretch, you must proceed with caution. The mountain has unloaded a lot of snow onto the path from the various gullies and therefore, even if not dangerous, we …

June 16, 2024,Carona - Rifugio Calvi

27 years after a memorable tour made in my youth, in which we climbed Mount Grabiasca, Mount Madonnino and Pizzo del Fargno, covered in snow in May, I returned to the Calvi Refuge. It remains a great place, with a remarkable mountain panorama. Ascent along the carriage road, descent along the summer path 247. Read everything on waterwind.it

August 31, 2025,Escursione a Lago Cabianca

Good morning everyone. A lovely hike on Sunday, starting from the summer trail in Carona. It's beautiful because the entire landscape is so different from the dirt and concrete road. The return journey, however, was along the dirt road. We reached Lake Ca' Bianca, and in the middle, a delicious polenta taragna with venison morsels at the Calvi Refuge—a must-try.

First time at the F.lliCalvi winter event. The refuge remained open for the holiday season, and it does not disappoint. Departure on a cloudy day from Carona, after Pagliari the signs for the Refuge indicate 2.40 minutes. Thus begins the constant ascent with crampons up to the meadow lake, where you can catch your breath. Continue to the foot of …

June 10, 2023,Rif. Calvi con mamma papà e crostatina

Today trip to the ref. Calvi with my parents, with difficulty but they were really good! We were hoping for the Laburnum in bloom (last year in the same period it was a marvel) and instead I think the season is a couple of weeks late. Finally, a pity for the lavatina taken on the way back. Thanks mom and …
