Branzi

Branzi

As reported by the official web-site of Branzi, the village consists of a central unit around the parish church of S. Bartolomeo Apostle (built in 1737) and four districts of which three to the south (Cagnoli, Gardata, Rivioni) and one to the north (Ripe).
In the core of the old center, besides a few houses remarkably interesting from an artistic point of view, there is the “Roman bridge”.

It’s located in the area called “Carbunì”; on this bridge (currently restored and still in use) all people who went to work to the Lago del Diavolo (Devil’s Lake) to extract coal in the ancient mines passed through. 

On the same mule track there are a few votive chapels that are very peculiar: they were built to commemorate the persons who died working on this road.

In the other districts like Gardata, Belfiore (Ripe) and Cagnoli there are valuable frescoed chapels.

Alpine skiing and snowboarding

Alpine skiing and snowboarding

In the breathtaking scenery of the Orobie Prealps, develops the Bremboski ski resort, offering more than 80 Km of well-trod ski runs. It’s worth pointing out also the Snowpark in Foppolo: two lines, one for experts and one for children with one of the most beautiful validated ski run for international races in the Orobie Alps.

In addition we must add San Simone and Carona, other ski centers that belong to the ski resort of the Brembana Valley, for those who love practicing ski plunged into nature.

Excursions

Excursions

The possibilities to have walks and excursions are many, following ancient mule-tracks or various alpine routes connected by the “Sentiero delle Orobie Occidentali” (Western Orobie Trail) extending from the small Lake Cassiglio to the Calvi hut, very close to passes and refuges of rare, astonishing beauty. 

The Bergamasque Prealps are an area of great beauty from a landscape point of view, each walk caters also to the most demanding tourist, with a mixture of nature, history and art.
