A trip to Lombardy to\u00a0the Forni Glacier<\/strong>\u00a0, half far enough that both our journey begins in Lombardy and in Trentino (which is the border) about 3 hours and a half from Milan and 4 hours from Trento (although it is closer in line d ‘air)<\/p>\n

It is possible to reach the Forni refuge even by car only at certain times of the year and at certain times.\u00a0It is therefore advisable to inquire first about the opening of the road to transit.\u00a0In the periods of greatest tourism, only an alternative shuttle service will be available.\u00a0(\u00a0www.forni2000.com<\/a>\u00a0– 0342 \/ 93.53.65 – Open from March to September)<\/p>\n

You can stay and find refreshment in\u00a0Rifugio Forni<\/strong>\u00a0(easily accessible by car) that offers a beautiful view and glacier views.
\nNearby we also find the\u00a0Branca<\/a>\u00a0refuge\u00a0and the\u00a0Pizzini<\/a>\u00a0refuge<\/p>\n

From here there are several itineraries and there are a couple of those that will take you to the glacier in a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

Trekking Path of Peace<\/a><\/h3>\n

You can follow the course of the river that rises gently until you get to the real climb and overcome several boulders (some a bit ‘slippery, the path is not exactly suitable for everyone) and can also be done by\u00a0mountainbike<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Along the way you also come across two\u00a0Tibetan bridges<\/strong>\u00a0suspended over the river.<\/p>\n

Our sight will be reapplied by the effort spent after seeing the great glacier up close (being careful not to get too close because it is changeable and the pieces fall all the time.) If you are lucky you can also see some ice caves.<\/p>\n
