Holiday apartment in Clanezzo: Bridges, Rivers and History

Clanezzo is a destination for travellers who want to combine river landscapes, trails and historic buildings. Ubiale Clanezzo lies at the entrance to the Brembilla, Imagna and Brembana valleys, at the foot of Monte Ubione and where the Brembo and Imagna rivers meet. This location gives your stay a distinct landscape setting: waterways and mountain scenery meet bridges, former defensive architecture and places with a history of craftsmanship.

Trails between Monte Ubione and Imagna

Those who enjoy combining different landscape impressions during their stay in Clanezzo will find specific routes to explore. Trail 571 reaches Clanezzo by descending from Monte Ubione towards the cemetery of Clanezzo. The Ciclabile della Valle Imagna is 3.8 kilometres long; a cycling time of 15 minutes is indicated.

The landscape along the Ciclabile della Valle Imagna is also distinctly characterised: it runs through forests between Monte Ubione and the Imagna stream. Springs and small waterways lie along the route.

Bridges with a history of their own

The Ponte che balla is 75 metres long and can still be crossed on foot. It was built in 1878, modelled on Tibetan bridges. When crossing it, you reach the opposite bank of the Brembo and can continue walking along the riverbank.

Another historic bridge is the medieval, single-arch stone bridge Ponte Attone. It is located in Ubiale Clanezzo. Together with the Ponte che balla, it showcases two different bridge forms and historical connections that you can experience side by side while exploring the area.

Castello di Clanezzo and Il Maglio

Castello di Clanezzo was transformed from a military fortress into an aristocratic residence. It serves as a historic residence and hosts events, weddings, ceremonies and tours. The site therefore represents both the transformation of a fortified complex and its present-day use for a variety of events and visits.

Il Maglio stands on the Imagna stream at the foot of the castle and is one of the oldest buildings in the area. Il Maglio once forged weapons for the Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia. The historical connection here therefore extends from its location by the water to former metalworking and its association with the Venetian Republic.
