Top 14 Caves ヴァルブレンビッラでの

The Dossena Mines represent a historical testimony to industrial and mining archaeology in the Brembana Valley. These mines have been an important resource for mineral extraction, particularly calamine (a zinc ore), since ancient times. The guided tour allows you to explore the main galleries and learn about the history, mining techniques, and miners' lives.

Very funny. Not for everyone though.

The Cornabusa Sanctuary, located in the heart of the Imagna Valley, is one of the most evocative sanctuaries in Lombardy. Built inside a natural cave, the sanctuary is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, venerated in this place since the 16th century. The church has been expanded over the years, while maintaining the charm of the original place of worship carved into the rock. The sanctuary is a destination for pilgrimages and is appreciated for its spiritual atmosphere and spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding valley.

Interesting historical place. From here you descend to Camerata Cornello or return to Dossena. After exploring the various routes of course!

Departure from Selvino towards Trafficanti (Via Mercatorum) then Serina, Colle di Dossena and at the first houses in the town keep to the right, staying high. The road and the signs for the mines do the rest, you can't go wrong. Shortly before and shortly after the mines there is a gravel section, almost all of which is easy to pedal. Then splendid descent, all on asphalt, towards Camerata Cornello. From here it is "intriguing" the uphill face, very hard, towards Cespedonio. Alternatively, when you come to cross the Val Brembana cycle path instead of going up towards Lenna, go down towards San Pellegrino to go up to Selvino. The tour is about 15-17 kilometers long.

Because the mine is the mine!

Mine from which galena (Lead Sulfide) was extracted. It is located 20 minutes from the Alpinisti Monzesi refuge, at the foot of Mount Resegone, where you can observe some entrances to the mine, located on three levels (one collapsed). On the way there are some structures in ruins. Located at 1225 meters above sea level, the mine is also known as "della Rolla".
