From here, we take the obvious path that passes through the old houses of the village. At the first fork, we take a left and soon reach the baites of Costa del Gras. From here, we take a right and continue uphill through the thick of the forest. We then reach the agro-silvo-pastoral road, which we follow until we reach a clearing with a baita. Here we leave it and ascend the meadows that will gradually be filled with crocuses, until we reach some restored baites and a votive chapel. In front of us, a carpet of flowers will fill our eyes with all their shades.<\/p>\n\n<p>The return can be made on the same route as the ascent.<\/p>\n\n<p>The path is not difficult and can be tackled by anyone with a minimum of training.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Crocus-Pigolota-BergamoXP-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Crocus-Pigolota-BergamoXP-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Crocus-Pigolota-BergamoXP-3-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Crocus-Pigolota-BergamoXP-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Crocus-Pigolota-BergamoXP-3-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p><em>Always organize your trips with care, choose appropriate equipment, and verify the itinerary before embarking on it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BergamoXP<\/h2>\n\n<p>BergamoXP is the first aquatic sports center in the province of Bergamo.
