Maresana is a hill located just beyond the northeast border of the city of Bergamo, its green lung and an easy refuge for those who, from the city, are looking for nature that is easily and quickly accessible. With its 546 meters of height, it barely misses the definition of a mountain (the limit is 600 meters), and it is located along the ridge that marks the beginning of the Val Seriana. Its chestnut forests are the ideal destination for those who, in the autumn, are in search of these fruits.

The Enchanted Forest Trail is an easy route, suitable for families and children, which winds through the forest in Colle Vareno, not far from the Monte Pora ski resort.

The Grem Peak is a broad summit located on the watershed between the Val Seriana and Val del Riso, characterized by a long ridge.

In this article, we describe a loop itinerary that will take us to both peaks, passing through the charming Buco delle Carolina, a narrow crack in the rock.
