Holiday apartment in Ambria-Spino between culture and trails

Ambria-Spino combines sacred history, historic trails and destinations for active pursuits for your trip planning. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Ambria-Spino, you will find specific starting points here for a variety of holiday days: churches in Ambria and Spino al Brembo, the Museo del Soldato, the Museum of Valle in the surrounding area, as well as routes for cyclists, pedestrians and hikers.

Churches and museums with a history of their own

The Museo del Soldato is located at Via Piave 2 in Ambria. The Chiesa di Sant’Alessandro was rebuilt in 1761. In Spino al Brembo, the Chiesa di Sant’Alessandro is of ancient origin. At the entrance to the portico of the Chiesa di Sant’Alessandro martire e cappella in Spino al Brembo, there are two figures depicted as frescoes; one of them represents Saint Sebastian.

The Chiesa di Sant’Antonio di Padova in Ambria also stands on the site of an earlier parish church. Construction of the present-day Chiesa di Sant’Antonio di Padova began in 1938, replacing a house of worship dating from the 17th century. The church was consecrated in 1948; the high altar contains relics of Saints Anthony of Padua, Adrian and Alexander. The building history of this house of worship thus extends from the 17th century through the start of construction in 1938 to its consecration in 1948.

The Museum of Valle is located in the surrounding area of Ambria-Spino and adds another museum destination outside the immediate locality to the cultural attractions.

Cycling, skating and traditional trails

The cycle and pedestrian route from Zogno to San Pellegrino Terme reaches Ambria and then continues as the cycle and pedestrian route to San Pellegrino Terme. Spino al Brembo also has a skating and cycling facility. It covers 280 square metres, is an average of ten metres wide, and has an elevation difference of approximately 120 centimetres between the ground and the highest point of the facilities.

The Sentiero per Spino al Brembo is a traditional pedestrian route between the valley and the mountain. It includes paved ramps and long steps for mules and pedestrians. The trail is still in good condition, although some sections have been renewed. The hiking stage of the Via Priula ends in Spino al Brembo.

Churches and museums provide a cultural focus, while the cycle and pedestrian route, the Sentiero per Spino al Brembo and the Via Priula stage shape active days. This allows different interests to be incorporated into your trip planning without setting culture and physical activity against each other.
