A Hike to Laghetti di Bruffione


Laghetti di BruffioneEntrance to Piana di Bruffione

Overview


Duration: 5.25 hours (includes lunch break at Laghetti di Bruffione)
Elevation: 469 m (1540 ft)
Length: 12.2 km (7.6 mi)
Location: Italy, Brescia Province, Valle Sabbia / Valle Trompia

A few weeks ago, we were hiking on Monte Guglielmo in the province of Brescia. Today, we find ourselves 30 km northwest, still in Brescia, hiking above La piana del Gaver. The hike is on the border between the Valle Trompia and Valle Sabbia, two of the three principal valleys of the province. The third being Val Camonica.

From behind Bar Bruffione, you can find the trail, really a dirt - cobblestone road that takes you up to Malga Bruffione. Cross the meadow and on the east side find the trail to Laghetti Bruffione. Find a spot and spread you blanket for a picnic.
