Cycle path of river Serio

linoolmostudio — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 07:11:40 +0000

A long LINE, now STRAIGHT, then curved, then again branched. That is how Valle Seriana cycle path, which many people consider as one of the best paths in Lombardy, looks like from AERIAL VIEW. Together with Serio River, it is the true trait d’union of the valley territory which isextremely SO varied and extended and, TO gives the tourists the chance to embrace MULTIPLE settings and skylines. Valle Seriana cycle path is suitable for familiesand for anyone who wants to practice sports: it is free from remarkable differences in ALTITUDE and its hard court and asphalt surface is totally walkable. Trekking, mountain biking, and roller-skating are the most PERFORMED activities.

The main branch, between Ranica and Clusone (31 kilometres), follows the river course and IT GOES ALONG WITH a parallel path that originates in Villa di Serio and crosses the main one in various points UNTILL ALBINO. THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THE PATH IS LOCATED BETWEEN PONTE NOSSA AND CLUSONE from where the new high valley paths begin: Piario – Villa d’Ogna – Ardesio and Gromo – Valbondione. THE LAST SECTION, NAMED PRESOLANA TOUR, WILL BE SOON REALIZED: IT’S GOING TO COMPLETE THIS IMPORTANT PATHS-NETWORK CONNECTING CLUSONE AND CASTIONE DELLA PRESOLANA.

THAT’S Valle Seriana cycle path: dozens of kilometres through nature, arts, flavours and mountains at your disposal, in order to spend a dynamic and relaxing holiday at the same time together with your family and friends, and most of all with your bike… What more do you want?

Passo Manina Malga Barbarossa

linoolmostudio — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 09:35:04 +0000

Numerosissimi i punti panoramici sulla Val di Scalve e alta Val Seriana da lasciarvi senza fiato. Poco prima di arrivare al Passo Manina e dal Passo fino alla prima pozza siamo costretti a spingere e portare la MTB per circa 30/45 minuti. Interessante il valico della Manina con il piccolo luogo di culto. Una panoramica discesa molto Lunga e ripida metteranno a dura prova i nostri freni costringendoci a fermarci ogni tanto per farli raffreddare. Numerosi i punti per poterci rifornire di acqua lungo tutto il percorso.

Il punto di partenza è a Vilminore di Scalve e in corrispondenza del parcheggio della palestra in via Vittorio Emanuele (poco sopra, nei pressi del campo sportivo vi sono numerosi ulteriori posteggi). Seguiamo la strada principale che attraversa il centro di Vilminore, dopo aver attraversato la piazza Papa Giovanni XXII manteniamo la sinistra imboccando via Locatelli, dopo il tornante, all’incrocio procediamo a sinistra seguendo le indicazioni per Colere fino a giungere dopo alcune centinaia di metri nei pressi della chiesetta di San Carlo, riconoscibile dall’insolito intonaco azzurro. Pochi metri prima della chiesetta, prendiamo a DX lo sterrato che sale e seguiamo le indicazioni per Ponte Gleno. Raggiunta l’area attrezzata di Ponte Gleno, manteniamo la SX verso il ponticello di cemento, lo superiamo e seguiamo fedelmente il sentiero fino alla frazione Nona, che a causa del fondo sconnesso ci costringe in alcuni tratti a spingere la MTB. Arrivati all’ingresso di Nona, al primo incrocio prendiamo a DX su fondo asfaltato e subito a SX in via Manina e seguiamo fedelmente la lunga salita e le indicazioni per il passo Manina. Arrivati nelle vicinanze della Baita rossa, al bivio svoltiamo a SX in discesa e poi subito in forte salita il sentiero per il passo Manina (altro tratto a spina) fino a raggiungere un bivio. A questo punto è consigliabile una visita alla limitrofa chiesetta al Passo della Manina dalla quale si osservano, oltre al panorama sulla Valle di Scalve, alcuni interessanti scorci sul territorio dell’alta Val Seriana. Scendendo di nuovo al bivio imbocchiamo a DX il sentiero CAI 407 che seguiremo fedelmente (sentiero in alcuni punti esposto che ci costringe a portare e spingere la MTB per circa trenta minuti) fino alla prima pozza d’acqua. Da questo punto, si risale in sella e continuiamo in discesa seguendo la segnaletica CAI 407. Superiamo le Baite di Barbarossa alta e bassa e in forte discesa seguiamo lo sterrato fino alle prime case di Teveno. In questo tratto è consigliata almeno una pausa per evitare l’eccessivo surriscaldamento dei freni. Mantenendo la sinistra superiamo il centro fino alla strada principale nei pressi di un’antica stazione della teleferica di legno scuro. Andiamo a SX e seguiamo la strada asfaltata, ATTENZIONE ALLE DEVIAZIONI SUCCESSIVE, ad una curva a gomito, scendiamo a DX lungo la mulattiera fino alla piazzetta di Bueggio dove troveremo una fontana. Procediamo a DX in discesa lungo un percorso pavimentato in pietra, attraversiamo un suggestivo ponte coperto in legno e proseguiamo in salita fino a raggiungere l’asfalto . Procediamo a DX, superiamo la chiesa di San Carlo e arrivati alle prime abitazioni di Vilminore, scendiamo subito a DX in via IV Novembre e puntiamo a raggiungere la chiesa principale, mantenendo il campanile come punto di riferimento. Dopo essere transitati sotto la grande scalinata della chiesa, non ci resta che raggiungere il punto di partenza.

Da Colere a Pian Di Vione in Mountain Bike

linoolmostudio — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 09:27:41 +0000

Partiamo dal parcheggio del campo sportivo di Colere e, una volta arrivati sulla strada principale, procediamo a destra e seguiamo il tragitto stradale fino alla località Magnone; in corrispondenza delle prime case svoltiamo a sinistra ed entriamo nel piccolo borgo. Proseguendo oltre l’ultima casa troviamo sulla destra il sentiero che imboccheremo fino a raggiungere una strada cementata. Risaliamo tenendo la sinistra per qualche metro fino alla cascina al di sotto della quale, svoltando a sinistra, imbocchiamo il sentiero da seguire fino al piazzale di partenza della seggiovia. Raggiungiamo la strada e svoltiamo a sinistra sulla strada in discesa e, dopo alcune decine di metri, giriamo a destra seguendo le indicazioni per il museo delle miniere. Nei pressi dell’ingresso del museo seguiamo lo sterrato di destra che ci costringerà a spingere la nostra MTB per circa cinque minuti e procediamo fino ad incrociare la strada cementata dove svoltiamo a destra e seguiamo le indicazioni per “Calchere” e “Pian di Vione”.

Raggiunto Pian di Vione e la sua area attrezzata con panche e tavoli procediamo sullo sterrato che piega a sinistra e lo seguiamo; superata una ripida discesa e raggiunto il tornante, proseguiamo dritti seguendo le indicazioni per Castello. Arrivati ad una cascina la strada sterrata si divide e noi proseguiamo a destra sulla ripida salita che ci costringerà a spingere la MTB per qualche minuto.

La strada si restringe diventando un sentiero sul quale faremo particolare attenzione a seguire la segnaletica arancione fino a raggiungere di nuovo l’asfalto in località Valle Richetti. Svoltiamo a sinistra e allo stop proseguiamo a sinistra, seguendo la strada principale verso Colere, fino al punto di partenza.
