From the Olmo Refuge to Clusone The return among nature, villages and history

The return among nature, villages and history

From the Olmo Refuge, the last stage of the route begins with a gradual descent along the CAI 327 path. The first stretch crosses high-altitude meadows and passes through the Olone Pass, from which you can observe the valleys below. Continuing, you reach Malga Campo, a significant panoramic point along the route, with an open view of the Presolana area.

The descent continues through wooded areas with larch groves and shaded stretches, where the vegetation becomes thicker. After passing the Località Bigliardo, the route follows the ancient CAI 317A route, historically used to connect the villages.

The path then leads to Rovetta, where it is possible to visit the Chiesetta degli Alpini, and then continues towards Clusone, the arrival point of the trekking. The entrance to the historic center allows you to complete the excursion by touching some of the main places of interest in the city, including the Fanzago Planetary Clock, the Oratory of the Disciplines and the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta.

The stage ends on a mixed terrain, with a mainly negative difference in altitude and a progressive transition from the mountain environment to the urban one.
