Tips from the Community
Lake Endine, nestled in the Val Cavallina at about 337 m above sea level, offers intact natural scenery rich in reeds. For a spectacular view, you can walk the hiking loop to the Giant Bench of Ranzanico or climb Monte Sparavera, considered the true panoramic balcony over the lake.

In the center of the village of Bianzano stands an ancient castle whose history is still partly shrouded in mystery: a square-plan building whose corners are aligned with the four cardinal points. Two defensive walls, of which remains are found today, surround the structure in the center of which stands an imposing keep. What saved this castle from destruction during the period of the Republic of Venice was the intuition of the Suardi family, who decided to remove the battlements from the walls to make it resemble a dwelling as much as possible and not a fortress. Their coat of arms is still found today on the entrance portal to the castle.

The main inhabited center of Roncola is situated on a ridge at about 854 meters above sea level, near which flows the Valdimagnino loop. The remaining hamlets, including Roncola Alta, San Defendente, and Cà Maltroti, occupy the northern slope of this ridge, at altitudes ranging from 600 to over 1000 meters.

Connecting pass between Valseriana and Valcavallina. The climb from Casazza is a classic of the Lombardy climbs. Route also taken by some stages of the Giro d'Italia and the Giro di Lombardia. At the pass is the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Ciclista (with an adjacent small cycling museum), once called Madonna della Neve.

Originally, the current Sanctuary dedicated to the "Madonna dei ciclisti" (Our Lady of Cyclists) was called "Madonna della Neve" (Our Lady of the Snow). Being a classic uphill route, also for some stages of the Giro d'Italia and Giro di Lombardia (in addition to many other minor races), it was later named so towards the end of the last century, considering that a small cycling museum was also created next to the church. To which, well-known cycling professionals donated their memorabilia.
