Val Gabbiolo - The Way of the Valleys

<p>Val Gabbiolo is a journey into the wilderness of Val Genova. Steep and little frequented, it offers splendid views of Lobbie, Adamello, and Carè Alto, leading to a rocky amphitheater of incredible beauty.</p>

<p>Val Gabbiolo is a <strong>beautiful side valley of Val Genova</strong> accessed from Rifugio Stella Alpina. Like many side valleys of this valley, Val Gabbiolo also presents typical characteristics of <strong>environmental harshness</strong> combined with the great satisfaction of an <strong>almost pioneering exploration</strong>: marked steepness, minimal signage, intact and wild beauty, and isolation.</p> <p>The <strong>steep climb</strong> is accompanied by an <strong>incredible view</strong> of the Lobbie, Carè Alto, and Adamello-Presanella. The upper part of the valley is dominated by elegant spires, including Punta Graffer, Torre Bogani, Punta Gian, Campanile Zapparoli, Ago Nardis, and Campanile dei Boci, which form a rocky amphitheater that looks sculpted by an artist.</p> <p>Upon reaching the final plateau, occupied by a large boulder called &#34;Masso del bivacco&#34;, all that remains is to enjoy the attractive charm of this place, once much frequented by climbers who loved classic mountaineering.</p>
