The Laghetti delle Valli (Valley Lakes) are an enchanting corner of the Bergamo Orobie mountains, located above Schilpario in the Scalve Valley. These small alpine lakes, hidden among pastures and rocks, offer a setting of rare beauty and tranquility, perfect for hikers seeking silence and authentic landscapes. The hike begins in Santa Elisabetta, just outside the center of Schilpario, where you join CAI trail 415. The route initially winds through the forest, among fir and larch trees, gaining altitude with regular switchbacks. After passing the Roccolo di Busmino and the Monte Busma mountain pasture, it turns west towards Monte Gaffione. Here, in a basin between the peaks, the valley opens up that hosts the Laghetti delle Valli, at approximately 1,979 meters above sea level. The landscape is alpine and wild: the small lakes, of glacial origin, are surrounded by flowering pastures, rhododendrons, and rocks smoothed by time. The clear waters reflect the sky and mountains, creating a suspended, almost magical atmosphere. Just above the largest lake, there is a curious "sword in the stone," installed as a symbolic attraction, adding a fairytale touch to the hike. The trail then continues towards the Vivione Pass, making it ideal for a full-day trek. The difficulty is classified as hiking (E), with an elevation gain of approximately 870 meters and a total length of approximately 15 km, round-trip. The Laghetti delle Valli are a perfect place for those who love the true mountains, the kind conquered step by step, offering simple yet profound emotions. A hike here is a journey into the quiet, beauty, and history of a valley that has managed to preserve its authentic spirit.

A place with a wonderful panorama, with a fantastic view of the Concarena massif.
