Holiday apartment in Roncola: culture and trails to Monte Linzone

Roncola combines medieval traces, sacred art and mountain trails. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Roncola, you can choose your accommodation based on how you want to spend your holiday: discovering culture, planning easy walks or choosing more challenging trails and mountain bike excursions.

Culture between fortifications and sacred art

The remains of medieval fortifications can be found in Cà Baetti. This site adds to the historical impressions you can experience in Roncola with a walk through the surrounding area.

The parish church of San Bernardo dates back to the 15th century. Inside, it houses a 16th-century polyptych by Giovan Battista Moroni. The furnishings also include a painting from 1630 attributed to Girolamo Forabosco. Other artworks in the church include “Vergine in gloria” by Gian Paolo Cavagna. In this way, a stay in Roncola can also be explored through individual works and their different periods of creation.

Another historical site is the rural church of San Defendente. It was built in the 15th century near an ancient fortified settlement and adds its own distinctive note to the area’s cultural monuments.

Walking, mountain biking and mountain panoramas

Excursions in Roncola range from easy walks to more challenging trails. Mountain biking is an option for active days. This range allows you to adapt your plans to the desired level of intensity without having to separate culture and outdoor activities.

Along the route to Monte Linzone, there is a meadow clearing with views over the Val San Martino below, the surrounding hills and the plain as far as the Apennines. The route also opens onto a 360-degree panorama of the Valle Imagna below and the entire chain of the Orobie Pre-Alps and Alps. These two landscapes make the trail an opportunity to experience different perspectives of the mountain scenery one after another.

From Monte Linzone, the route can be continued along trail 571 to the Valico di Valcava and then on to Monte Tesoro. This allows you to shape the length and course of your hiking day according to your own plans.

Adventure and practical information

Parco Avventura Roncola opened in March 2009. It offers older visitors challenges at height, complementing the leisurely walks and more demanding trails with a distinctly more active excursion option.

Before visiting Parco Avventura Roncola, you should check its opening status on the website. In bad weather, the park may close for safety reasons.

The car can be left in a parking area; from there, the route continues along well-signposted trail 571. When choosing a holiday apartment or other accommodation in Roncola, you can therefore first consider whether you want to devote your days mainly to art and local history, easy walks or the route towards Monte Linzone. The available activities provide a concrete basis for this without requiring you to commit to just one type of excursion.
