Parco delle Orobie Bergamasche

In the pages of this book we witness the development of an ancient trail starting from the high silhouette of the rocks and reaching the gentler valley bottom, across a myriad of alpine environments. From the isolated villages of the pre-alpine valleys up to the 3,050m of Pizzo Coca, from the green beech tree and conifer forests to the dozens of alpine lakes. The volume describes in detail, with notes and naturalistic, historical, and ethnographic information, 23 itineraries developing within a large territory going from the mountain slopes in the east of Como Lake to Aprica Pass. A rich collection of photos will lead the reader through the pages of this guidebook, where easy trails across woods, alpine pastures, and high-mountain stony grounds will make us discover the secrets of the territory of Orobie and Orobie Bergamasche Park in the area of Brescia. The latter covers a large section of alpine territory between Val Brembana, Val Seriana, and Val di Scalve and, after long years, it has been developing the necessary instruments to become an important regional park.
