Tips from the Community
In all tunnels of the cycle way of Val Brembana you should have appropriate lights as they are quite dark. In addition the best option is to have photochromatic glasses as entering in sunglasses can be dangerous as you see almost nothing. The road quality in each tunnel is quite good, but it is usually wet due to water infiltration. During summer the cool temperatures inside are to be enjoyed, but in other seasons it is cold there, so you have to be prepared with suitable clothing.

The view of the Bergamo Orobie mountains from Dossena is renowned for its vastness and spectacularity, offering a breathtaking panorama that encompasses much of the Orobic Prealps. This view is achieved from a privileged position, as Dossena is a mountain village located at about 1,000 meters above sea level, overlooking the Brembana Valley. On a clear day, you can clearly make out the outlines of Mounts Grigna, Gioco, and Alben, which outline the horizon with their jagged peaks.

Border pass between Fusine and Foppolo (Bergamo). It's a pass steeped in history, with the Cadorna trenches. The road from Fusine (Valtellina) is wide and easily cycled.

Very beautiful route mostly in the middle of nature, also suitable for those who are not very fit. The tunnels are very beautiful and also provide a bit of refreshment but be careful because some are a little dark. Too bad that in Zogno you have to enter the provincial road for about 1 km even if now they are building the cycle path right next to the road.
