Tips from the Community

May 28, 2026, Malga Lunga

Wonderful place in the Bergamo Prealps, perfect for a regenerating walk. Malga Lunga (1,235 m) is managed by ANPI volunteers and is a symbolic place of the Resistance, with a small museum inside. The beautiful thing is that the refreshment service (active on weekends and in summer) works on a free donation basis to support the place: ideal for eating something typical and drinking a cool drink, leaving a spontaneous contribution. How to get there: On foot, the most convenient way starts from Gandino (parking at Valpiana, about 60 minutes of easy walking, also suitable for families). Alternatively, there are more hiking trails from Sovere or Ranzanico a little extra tip: Once at the mountain hut, walk a little further beyond the structure towards the ridge. Nearby there is the Giant Bench: the view from that point is crazy and you can see the entire Lake Endine from above!

Accessible by four trails, each more beautiful than the last and of varying difficulty. The two leading to the Malga Lunga and the Monte Alto hut are of difficulty E. The chimney and the ghost trail starting from the Cudegn pass are of difficulty EE. https://www.ecodibergamo.it/stories/eppen/outdoor/volti-spettrali-incisi-nella-roccia-sentiero-delle-fantasme-sovere-o_1445517_11/

The Chiesetta del Posöl is a fascinating and mysterious place located in the woods above Sovere (BG)—today, it is a ruin that evokes ancient charm, beloved by those who enjoy hiking with a touch of hidden history. 🌿 What to Expect Ruins of a small church, nestled in a quiet, wooded setting. Not much detailed historical information is known about its origins, which makes it even more intriguing for curious explorers. This place is recommended by hikers for its peaceful atmosphere and the sense of "discovery" off the beaten track.

Suggestive carving in the rock. Starting point of the Sentiero delle Fantasme, look for the red writing on the rock that indicates the start of the ridge (path EE). https://www.ecodibergamo.it/stories/eppen/outdoor/volti-spettrali-incisi-nella-roccia-sentiero-delle-fantasme-sovere-o_1445517_11/
