An explosion of colours at 1600 metres: discover the rarest blooms of the Orobie in a botanical garden suspended between the peaks.
A journey through time where millions of years ago there was a sea. Through the wild Vallone dei Mughi, we will walk among scree and high-altitude meadows, which in June turn into a mosaic of colours: anemones, gentians and the first blooms of rhododendron
The silence of this little-visited valley amplifies every sound: from the high-pitched whistle of the marmots to the ‘puffed’ breath of the chamois guarding the ridges We arrive at the 2,087 metres of the Corna Grande for a panorama that sweeps towards Valtorta, passing under the vertical walls of the Ice Age Crag.
But the real magic lies beneath our feet: among the limestone rocks we will search for the legendary Conchodonfossils . Hearts of stone for the most romantic, or ‘devil’s hooves’ according to ancient local legends? An excursion suspended between geology and myth, in the most secret heart of Valsassina
