From Colzate start 2 climbs, one goes to Monte cavlera and is terrible one of the hardest in the bergamasca, the other goes instead to the hill of barbata, a little less hard but not to be underestimated. you start immediately strong in double digits for 2 km and you arrive at the shrine of St. Patrick, the only one in Italy dedicated to the Irish saint. It's very nice to see and from the porch there's a wonderful view of the valley. then you continue for another km always in double di... read more

From Colzate start 2 climbs, one goes to Monte cavlera and is terrible one of the hardest in the bergamasca, the other goes instead to the hill of barbata, a little less hard but not to be underestimated. you start immediately strong in double digits for 2 km and you arrive at the shrine of St. Patrick, the only one in Italy dedicated to the Irish saint. It's very nice to see and from the porch there's a wonderful view of the valley. then you continue for another km always in double digits...the higher you go the more the valley opens up and towards the end it becomes very beautiful with very green meadows and panoramic views of the valleys. uneven climb with very hard stretches and stretches where you can breathe a little

da Colzate partono 2 salite, una va al Monte cavlera ed è terribile una delle più dure nella bergamasca, l'altra va invece al colle di barbata, un pò meno dura ma da non sottovalutare. si parte subito forte in doppia cifra per 2 km e si arriva al santuario di San Patrizio, l'unico in Italia dedicato al Santo irlandese. E' molto bello da vedere e dal porticato c'è una vista meravigliosa sulla vallata. poi si continua per un altro km sempre in doppia cifra...più si sale e più la valle di apre e verso la fine diventa molto bella con prati verdissimi e viste panoramiche sulle valli. salita irregolare con tratti molto duri e tratti in cui un po' si respira

Nice climb with virtually no traffic leading to a lovely place, if done by mountain bike makes for a nice loop ride.

Bella salita senza praticamente traffico che porta ad un luogo incantevole, se effettuata con la mountain-bike permette un bel giro ad anello.

Interesting climb on a road with no traffic. Unfortunately, being closed-road, it does not allow for round trips. The sanctuary of St Patrick and its frescoes are worth seeing.

Salita interessante su strada senza traffico. Purtroppo essendo a fondo chiuso non permette giri ad anello. Da vedere il santuario di San Patrizio e i suoi affreschi.
