Full description
For Indiana Joneses who are not satisfied with just one challenge, we have two to propose!
In Val Brembana, in Dossena, you can cross a 505-metre Tibetan bridge and then go 100 metres deep into the village's Speleological Park.
Among magnificent landscapes and fascinating mines, you will feel the thrill of discovery at every step!
What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Dossena (BG), where we will park the car and follow the signs indicating the path to be followed. After a walk of about 1 km (25 minutes) , we will reach the starting point of the Ponte nel Sole, the longest Tibetan bridge in the world.
There, operators will be waiting for us and will hand over the necessary equipment (harness and carabiners) . After dressing, we will be ready to start crossing the bridge, which is 505 m long and 120 m high. On the structure, of which the only anchored parts are the start and finish, run 3. 5 km of steel ropes, along which we will move.
It will take us about 45 minutes to get to the other side of the bridge and we will return directly to the village, completing a loop route. We will walk suspended in the air between the magnificent mountains of the Val Brembana and glimpse the Orobic Alps, the peaks of the Grigna, Gioco and Alben mountains, and the San Pellegrino valley floor.
At the end of the first part of the activity, we will head to the Speleological Park, where we will be provided with the necessary equipment for the second part (harness, carabiners, helmet) . A speleological guide will lead us along an equipped route, consisting of cableways, bridges, suspended passages and artificial chimneys. It will be a real ferrata, passing through natural caves and artificial tunnels, following the ancient rails on which the carts used by miners to transport material used to run. And as we test ourselves on the 1 km equipped route, we will listen to the history of the structure and go as deep as 100 m!
It will be a unique experience that will take us back in time! Both activities will last 1. 5 hours, for a total duration of about 4 hours, including transfers.
