Lizzola between the ski area, mountain trails and bike park

Lizzola between winter sports and mountain trails

Lizzola offers several clearly distinguishable starting points for a journey into the mountains: the ski area, the trail to Passo della Manina, mountain landmarks in the surrounding area and a bike park. You can therefore choose the destination according to the focus you want to give your trip – for example, winter sports, hiking trails, landscapes or cycling. This makes it possible to explore Lizzola according to your interests through specific places and trails. Especially if you are planning more than just a single activity, but rather a combination of sport and scenery, this clear selection helps you shape your days according to your preferences.

The Lizzola ski area

In winter, the Lizzola ski area extends from 1,250 metres to over 2,000 metres above sea level. The ski area also includes a snow park. The considerable range in altitude and the snow park give winter sports in Lizzola a distinctive profile. When planning your trip, you can therefore take into account both the altitude of the area and the snow park’s individual character.

The trail to Passo della Manina

The trail to Passo della Manina leads through a deciduous forest and a hollow in the terrain used as pasture before reaching the chapel. Along the route, the forest, pastureland and chapel follow one another as distinct landscape and location features. If you are planning a hike with a clearly recognisable change in surroundings, this sequence is part of the trail’s special character.

The Chiesetta della Manina

The Chiesetta della Manina is dedicated to the Madonna Pellegrina and contains two altars. One faces Valle di Scalve, while the other faces Valle Seriana. The Chiesetta was built and blessed on 10 October by Monsignor Adriano Bernareggi, the Bishop of Bergamo at the time. Its design thus brings together its religious dedication, its orientation towards two valleys and a specific historical event.

Mountains and trails in the surrounding area

The surrounding area of Lizzola includes Mount Pizzo di Coca as well as the peaks of Pizzo della Presolana and Pizzo del Diavolo di Tenda. These three mountain landmarks extend the scenic horizon beyond the trail to Passo della Manina; when planning individual days, you can therefore consider them separately from this trail.

From the hamlet of Lizzola, CAI Trail 306 leads to the Baite di Valbona and continues via Maslana to the area of the Grandi Macigni. A route to Pizzo dei Tre Confini begins at the hotel car parks in Lizzola. This gives you different starting points for planning your days: the CAI trail begins in the hamlet, while the route to Pizzo dei Tre Confini starts at the hotel car parks.

Bike park with three difficulty levels

There is a bike park in the Lizzola area with three trails of varying difficulty. This gives cycling its own focus alongside winter sports and hiking trails. When planning your days, you can therefore treat the three trails as a separate activity category alongside the trails and mountain landmarks in the surrounding area.
