Holiday apartment in Colere: hiking, Presolana and traces of mining

Colere combines hiking trails, winter sports and culture into a destination offering a variety of ideas for each day. The themes range from activities in the mountain landscape to insights into the area’s religious and mining past. This allows you to choose your holiday apartment according to the focus of your trip that best suits your travel group.

Hiking trails to Rifugio Albani

Two trails lead from Colere to Rifugio Albani. The CAI Trail 403 connects Colere with Rifugio Albani. The route to Rifugio Albani continues as far as the former mining area. The Sentiero delle Piante Parlanti begins at the Cesulì chapel. This gives you a clear focus on hiking, combining a mountain trail with a mining theme. When choosing a holiday apartment in Colere, this focus can serve as a guide if you want to structure your days around trails and alpine destinations.

Winter between status information and slope dimensions

The 10-person Carbonera–Malga Polzone cable car is listed as closed. The Presolana ski slope is listed as open, is 6,000 metres long and has an elevation difference of 625 metres. For your travel planning, winter sports therefore represent a distinct focus with a precisely measured slope.

Chapels, frescoes and museums

The Chiesa Parrocchiale S. Bartolomeo Apostolo was built between 1775 and 1788. Cesulì is a small stone chapel dating from before 1459. Cesulì also contains fragments of frescoes from the 15th to the 17th century. For travellers interested in culture, the range therefore extends from a late-18th-century religious building to significantly older traces of religious art.

The Ecomuseo delle Miniere Zanalbert displays valuable minerals, rocks with fossil imprints, a mine cart and installations featuring old tools. The Museo Alpino Colere contains a reconstructed nursing station. A visit to the Museo Alpino Colere was possible in July and August by prior registration with Pro Loco Colere. The combination of minerals, fossil imprints, a mine cart and old tools links the observation of nature with the history of mining; the reconstructed nursing station adds a concrete insight into nursing to the museum’s themes.

Cycling and varied day-trip profiles

The route between Colere and Teveno is 15 kilometres long and has an elevation difference of approximately 700 metres. When planning a cycling tour between Colere and Teveno, the distance and ascent need to be considered together. When choosing a holiday apartment in Colere, you can combine this profile with the hiking trails to Rifugio Albani, the Presolana ski slope, and the religious sites and museums. This means that your choice of accommodation is guided by the experiences you want to place at the centre of your trip.
