From Clusone to Bossico A start that smells of adventure

The trek starts from Clusone, crossing the historic center and points of interest such as the Fanzago Astronomical Clock and the Danse Macabre.

Once out of town, the trail winds through fields and green areas, leading to the bridge over the Valleggia, which marks the entrance to Songavazzo. From here, you continue through a compact beech forest, along a moderately uphill path to the Chiesetta degli Alpini, a point suitable for a short stop.

The route continues through pastures and some isolated huts, following Trail 553A, which offers a wide view of the valley and Lake Iseo. After passing the source of the Cremonella, the trail begins to gradually descend towards Bossico, a town in a panoramic position on the Sebino lake side.
This first stage combines naturalistic and historical content, with diversified environments and passages through small towns. It is suitable for basic and intermediate level hikers.
