Tips from the Community
Originally, the current Sanctuary dedicated to the "Madonna dei ciclisti" (Our Lady of Cyclists) was called "Madonna della Neve" (Our Lady of the Snow). Being a classic uphill route, also for some stages of the Giro d'Italia and Giro di Lombardia (in addition to many other minor races), it was later named so towards the end of the last century, considering that a small cycling museum was also created next to the church. To which, well-known cycling professionals donated their memorabilia.

Bergamo Alta (Upper Bergamo) is located on a hill overlooking the plains of the province of Bergamo. On clear days, you can see the Apennines and, even better, the Lombardy capital, Milan. But above all, Città Alta (Upper Bergamo) is beautiful to visit (on weekdays) for its history. It is a city surrounded by Venetian walls and boasting historic churches and palaces.
