Notes
The access to Piani di Bobbio is typically from Barzio (Lecco provice) where there is a cable car. We’ve always come up the Valtorta (Bergamo province) side, where there is no cable car. At Rifugio Trifoglio in Valtorata there is a large parking lot. In the winter, there is chair lift to take you up (not a cable car) and in summer, just your legs.We did hike from Piani di Artavaggio and Piani di Bobbio in 2023, see the post Hiking Between Piani di Artavaggio and Piani di Bobbio. But during that hike we stayed high and didn’t descend into Valtorta.
We’ve skied twice at Piani di Bobbio, so it was fun to see what ski slopes and meadows look like in the summer. Answer: full of grass and wildflowers!
We made a small loop hike today, starting and stopping in località Ceresola, steps away from the parking lot. There is a bar/restaurant there to grab something before and after the hike. In Piani di Bobbio, there are several rifugi to choose from as well.
