Oltre il Colle Alpini festival

In the Pro Loco's summer programme the festival is listed twice: Saturday 25 July «from 6 pm» and Sunday 26 July «from 12 noon», both times «run by ANA Oltre il Colle», with the same note: in case of bad weather postponed to 2 August. The booklet prints the postponement date as 02.08.2025, an obvious misprint: 2 August 2026 is the following Sunday.

As with the Plassa festival, the programme does not say where you eat, what is cooking or whether you need to book: ask the Pro Loco, via Roma 201, on 0345 95541.

25 and 26 July 2026 made for a busy weekend. On Saturday there were the Cascinale Lombardo markets in piazza Carrara, the Mountain Music Festival concert at the Cà d'Arera hut at 5.30 pm, the 7 pm barbecue at the Zambla Bassa parish centre and the music and dance evening at the Arena in Zambla Alta.

On Sunday the markets, a visit to a farm's cheese dairy, the opening of the Minerals Museum in Zorzone from 3 to 6 pm, the Mini Maga for youngsters in Serina and the evening cabaret at the Arena in Zambla Alta.

The main village group is one of the three ANA groups in the municipality, with those of Zambla and Zorzone, in the Valle Serina zone of the Bergamo section. In 2026 it ran, with the Pro Loco, the refreshment point of the Mountain Festival at Pian della Palla and, on Saturday 8 August at 5.30 pm, a mass at Cà Pasi; at the November Autumn Festival it is the Alpini who make chestnuts and mulled wine.

The Piazzale degli Alpini, along via Roma, is the meeting point of other village events, starting with the Carnival parade. To reach the village on Saturdays there is Arriva's line B from Bergamo, changing at Zogno; on Sundays and public holidays buses do not run and you drive up. Near the parish church there is a public car park that OpenStreetMap marks as free.
