"A country means not being alone, knowing that in the people, in the plants, in the earth
there is something of yours, that even when you are not there it is still waiting for you"
(C. Pavese)
A small mountain village on the slopes of Mount Linzone, which has always been called the Balcony of the Po Valley, is a territory rich in naturalistic and artistic treasures; represents the ideal solution for those looking for a slow holiday, in the name of relax, peace and nature.
Experience:
Simplicity of unforgettable moments, made-to-measure stays
SIGHTSEEING PLACES: The whole road that leads to Roncola, especially in the evening hours, will leave you breathless for the show that will open beneath you: thousands of lights that blend into a horizon that seems more and more distant. From Piazza Marconi and from different local districts, the panorama will not fail! The PERTUS, 10km from Roncola in the municipality of Costa V.I., is a unique observation point: in the background the Resegone mountain, on the sides the Imagna Valley and the Lecco lake. A small local pond and majestic nature. Absolutely to see. Further on, the Valcava Pass, a popular destination for many cyclists,it was the border crossing between Lecco and Bergamo
TREKKING: they are about 30km long themed paths that cross Roncola and that allow you to discover enchanted places of extraordinary beauty, like the ancient villages spread all over the territory; the San Bernardo’s church accomodates a beautiful Moroni’s altarpiece and a painting by Forabosco, while in the San Defendente’s church there is a Baschenis’s cycle of frescoes dating back to the 15th century. Challenging, but just as beautiful, the path CAI 571 that allows to reach Mount Linzone at high altitude. An hiking of about 2h, but that will ensure spectacular views at 1400m above the Plains.
