The Big Benches are a non-profit project by American designer Chris Bangle. In this article, we describe the ascent to the one located in Riva di Solto, bench number 53, through a loop hike that starts from the lake, passes through Fonteno, and allows you to ascend to this splendid balcony overlooking Sebino Lake.

Val Cavallina is a small and green valley in the Bergamo Prealps, situated between Iseo lake and the Val Seriana. It is crossed by the Cherio river, a small tributary of the well-known Oglio river, and by Endine lake, a small green gem recognized as a park by the Lombardy Region. In this article, we will describe the bicycle route along the cycle path that runs alongside the Cherio river to Endine lake and then the circuit around the lake itself.
