NOVEMBER, WHAT A SIGHT!

November on the Altopiano del Sole is a magical month: the vegetation shows off all its autumn splendor, while on the highest peaks the first snow begins to whitewash the landscape.

Driving from Malegno to Borno, it is impossible not to be enraptured by the sparkling hues that tint the Altopiano’s forests before giving way to its white winter covering.

But what is there to do on the Altopiano del Sole in November?

150 SHADES OF LOVA

A trip to the forests of the Altopiano del Sole is always a good idea: although the days are getting shorter and shorter, a hike during the sunny hours can only do you good, especially at a time when the riot of autumn colors explodes so powerfully.

A particularly picturesque destination is definitely Lake Lova. Starting from the village of Navertino, you can reach the destination in about an hour, following a rather steep path, but one that does not present any particular difficulty.

Once you reach your destination, the spectacle is assured: spruce forests that are reflected in the waters of the lake, extensive pastures, and hues that go from vermilion, to ochre, to green.

For those who wish to go further, the advice is to continue to Monte Arano and then take the path that leads to Rifugio Laeng. Along this stretch you will be able to admire a landscape of extraordinary beauty, embracing the Altopiano del Sole from Lake Lova to the village of Borno. A truly fabulous view.

WHAT TO EAT IN NOVEMBER ON THE ALTOPIANO

Walking in the mountains or through village streets, you know, will give you an appetite. The good news is that the restaurants and trattorias of the Altopiano del Sole will be ready to satisfy your taste buds by offering a varied menu that combines traditional recipes with more modern reinterpretations.

Among the autumnal proposals, ingredients such as pumpkin, mushrooms, truffles and chestnuts stand out as protagonists of the dishes, without forgetting some timeless local specialties.

Casoncelli, for example, are the perfect choice for those who need to stock up on flavor and substance: stuffed pasta covered with melted butter and sage leaves.

There are countless variations of the filling, but the true recipe of Valle Camonica is only stored in the memory of the oldest inhabitants, who hand down the secrets of the Altopiano del Sole from generation to generation.
