NATURE: COMPLETE IMMERSION
Easy walks in the Orobie mountains to rebalance mind and body

Imagine leaving the city behind you, the fiery asphalt, and heading along a path that climbs up into the woods.

 

After a few steps, you find yourself surrounded by tall trees, butterflies, flowers and grass undergrowth. The air gets cool and if you listen, you hear the birds singing and the sound of the stream flowing a few metres away.

 

You’re in heaven on earth!

 

The Orobie, Bergamo's Pre-Alps, are dotted with woods and paths. Choose the ones that best suit your needs and immerse yourself in nature. You will be exercising, breathing clean air and regaining balance and energy.
