Gusmeroli bivouac in Val Tartano

The Orobie Valtellinesi are still wild mountains, lands of grouse and wolves. Val Tartano can be reached from civilisation by a winding road, but going beyond the famous footbridge, the mountains retain a solitary charm. Charm that attracts those who are willing to walk a little and adapt. There are no fewer than four bivouacs in the valley, which are actually beautiful little self-managed shelters. We visit the first , the Gusmeroli bivouac: a splendid refitted hut with 6 beds on planks, always open. A wonderful stopping point to have a nice coffee on the wood-burning stove.

Come and discover this magical place at the foot of Mount Torrenzuolo or ‘del vento’, a little-known but fascinating peak that is climbed by those who want to follow the tracks of the numerous chamois that live here. You will want to return to these places, I promise we will do so soon….

And they even come from abroad to visit these places! Take a look at this winter VIDEO!
