A pochi passi dal centro!

The cluster sits in the upper Brembana valley in the Bergamasque Alps, with steep wooded slopes and high ridges immediately around the settlement. The Brembo basin shapes the area, and within this radius the landscape is alpine valley rather than plain or hill country. Piazzatorre itself is a small ski resort, with lifts on the slopes above the village; larger Bergamo-area ski domains such as Foppolo and Carona are farther up the valley and do not change the score. San Pellegrino Terme is the nearest town of some size down the valley, with thermal heritage buildings and daily services; Bergamo is the main city reached farther down-valley. The area is known for mountain walking, summer second-home tourism and local winter skiing in the Brembana valley.
