OverviewPizzo di farno is one of many summits situated between Val brembana and val Seriana.This area is almost circular,famous for many small lakes,all of them around 2000 meters.The most famous are the Laghi gemelli,where Pizzo di Farno is reflected.Besides this summit,the most important are:Monte Pradella(2626m),Monte Cabianca(2601m) and Pizzo del Becco(2507m).Those mountain are famous only for local people or for trekker,because they are devoid of climbing interest,except few icefalls in winter or for skiers.But in lowseason they are plenty of wilderness ond beautiful view as my photos show.
Getting and climb ThereThe easyest way for reach this place is coming from upper Val Brembana.The nearests village are:Branzi(path n.212),or Carona(path n.211).The Laghi Gemelli hut,is the best point where take time and start every ascents to the summits around.This refuge cun be reached also from Valcanale (path n.220),where also start the Alta via delle Orobie.Refuge Laghi Gemelli is the first stage of this route.From every place you start to walk up,the lenght of time is around 2 or 3 hours.If you watch the pizzo di farno from the hut,it's look a piramyd,but from the summit start a ridge to east direction,till the summit of Monte Pradella.This is a route probably very nice to do in winter with good snow condition.I've personally climbed the first of those summit in genuary,without ski.It was very exhausting owing to the deep snow.So i suggest to go trough this area only on ski.The big ammount of singolar summit,permit to choose a lot of different routes,more or less difficult.
