Embark on the Grotta dei Pagani Trail via Rifugio Cassinelli, a moderate hike that takes you through diverse landscapes in the Parco delle Orobie Bergamasche. You will first ascend through a beautiful pine forest, then reach open alpine pastures near Rifugio Cassinelli. The route covers 5.4 miles (8.8 km) with a significant elevation gain of 2553 feet (778 metres), typically taking around 4 hours and 13 minutes to complete. As you continue, the path becomes steeper, traversing the western ridge of Presolana, offering stunning panoramic views of the Prealps and the Po Valley.
When planning your visit, be aware that the final stretch of this trail is physically demanding. In spring, some sections might still have snow, so you should be sure-footed and bring appropriate equipment. Parking is available at Rifugio Cassinelli, making it a convenient starting point for your adventure. Consider starting early to allow ample time for the ascent and to enjoy the views without rushing.
This trail is notable for its journey through the Presolana massif, often called the "Queen of the Orobie." You will experience walking over stones and rocky debris as you approach the area where the cave is nestled among limestone peaks. The Bivacco Città di Clusone provides an excellent vista point, showcasing the unique geological features and expansive scenery of the region.
