Alta Via del Granito: A 3-Day Guided Adventure in the Lagorai Mountains

With Cristian, a mountain guide, we'll spend three days immersed in the granite soul of the Lagorai, a silent and authentic mountain where time seems to slow down. We'll climb from Malga Sorgazza toward Cima d'Asta Lake, nestled at the foot of imposing rock faces, then traverse the "granite cathedral" of the southern Lagorai, amidst breezy passes, alpine lakes, and secluded valleys. We'll walk to the rhythm of nature, letting the wind, streams, and vast landscape guide us through an intense, profound, and rejuvenating experience.

We'll sleep in two iconic Lagorai refuges: the Brentari, overlooking Lake Cima d'Asta, and the Caldenave, nestled in a green valley punctuated by crystal-clear streams. Every evening, we'll be greeted by warm dishes, wood scented with the scent of the mountains, and a night sky so clear it seems unreal. We'll share convivial meals, stories of the day, and the silence of the first light of dawn, when dawn colors the granite and prepares us for a new day of walking.

During the trek, we'll learn to read the Lagorai with attentive and curious eyes: from the geology that shapes these granite mountains, to the high-altitude flora that grows among the rocks, to the subtle signs of the fauna. We'll delve into the history of the mountain pastures, the value of grazing, and the commitment of the communities who so dedicatedly protect these lands. Through observations, stories, and moments of listening to nature, we'll develop a deeper understanding of the land and its inhabitants, rediscovering an authentic and respectful connection with the mountains.
