Among the most evocative itineraries of spring, there is undoubtedly the famous “Sentiero dei Fiori” (Path of Flowers), one of the most beautiful nature trails in the Bergamo Prealps. The stretch connecting Mount Arera to Branchino Pass offers, between June and July, spectacular alpine blooms with expanses of rhododendrons, gentians, primroses, and rare botanical species typical of high altitudes.
The trail crosses panoramic slopes and high-altitude environments dominated by the silence and the limestone rocks of Arera. An ideal starting point is the Oltre il Colle area, ascending towards the Capanna 2000 refuge and the Branchino Pass.
Carona and the high-altitude meadows
With the arrival of June, the upper valley around Carona also fills with blooms. The trails towards the alpine lakes and refuges cross meadows dotted with buttercups, wild daffodils, and rhododendrons.
Among the most beautiful itineraries:
- the path to Lake Prato
- the ascent to the Twin Lakes
- The path to Rifugio Calvi
The area offers spectacular views among pastures, streams, and alpine dams still fed by snowmelt.
The scenic trails of Val Brembilla
Spring is the ideal time to explore the trails of the mid-valley as well, where woods, chestnut groves, and meadows quickly awaken after winter.
The trail network of Val Brembilla offers paths immersed in greenery with panoramic views of the lower Brembana Valley and the Alpine arc. The months of May and June are perfect for observing:
- broom
- wild orchids
- Wildflowers
- mountain meadows
