Valle Seriana
|
|
|
Crossed
by the River Serio, Valle Seriana extends for about 50
km from the lowland to the highest summits of the Orobie
Alps, in an area of great panoramic and cultural
importance.
Situated
about 20 km away from Bergamo and within easy reach, Val
Seriana offers many historical suburbs and places of
great value, with the possibility of going in for
several winter sports: from simple excursions to extreme
climbing and
slopes on the most beautiful ski-runs in the valleys of
Bergamo.
From
the high grounds of Canto Alto and Mount Misma you can
enjoy unforgettable views of the Alpine ring, of the
valley-bottom and of the city.
