Escursioni, Orobie bresciane e Parco delle Orobie bergamasche

Along the pages of this book an ancient tale develops which branches out from the high profile of the rocks towards the more placid one of the valley bottoms, passing through a myriad of alpine environments. From the remote villages of the pre-Alpine valleys up to the 3050 m of Pizzo Coca, from the green beech and conifer forests to the dozens of alpine lakes. The volume accurately describes, with notes and factsheets of a naturalistic, historical and ethnographic nature, 23 itineraries included in a vast territory which extends from the mountainous appendages immediately east of Lake Como to the Aprica pass. A rich photographic set accompanies the reader along the pages of this guide, where easy paths through the woods, alpine pastures and high-altitude stony ground lead to discovering the secrets of the Brescia area of the Orobie and the Bergamo Orobie Park. The latter occupies a vast slice of Alpine territory between Val Brembana, Val Seriana and Val di Scalve and, after long years of gestation, is equipping itself with the rules and tools necessary to become an important regional park.
