A route of about 160 kilometers that allows us to make the circumnavigation of the Orobes, passing from one refuge to another. The route takes an average of five days and reaches an altitude of 2700 meters.
The Orobie Occidentali trail is a complete and diversified itinerary that starts in Cassiglio and touches the main refuges of the Orobie Brembane, passing through the most interesting areas from a naturalistic, environmental and mountaineering point of view, arriving to connect with the Orobie Orientali trail at the Calvi refuge.
The two Orobie trails are an exceptionally important attraction for those who love the mountains. They consist of seven and eight stages, respectively, which can also be walked partially.
The Classic Orobie Trail starts in Valcanale and runs eighty kilometers to the Curò Refuge above Valbondione and then reaches Albani and Presolana.
Several variants are possible along the route, allowing, among other things, climbing the highest peaks of the western Orobie.
On average, the Western Orobie Trail can be walked in five days, with overnight accommodations in the various huts.
