Distributore Api-IP

The Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy keeps the register of all filling stations and publishes the data on the Osservaprezzi carburanti portal. For Oltre il Colle the record shows the «Oltre il Colle» station of Calor Systems, Api-IP brand, at Piazzale degli Alpini 15, with two products: petrol and diesel, both self-service. Attended service, LPG and methane are not listed.

Among its services the record lists only «Bancomat», with no further detail. OpenStreetMap describes the same station with data entered in 2020 and a previous operator: for the filling station the Ministry register, updated by the operator, is the reference.

The register does not say. For every day of the week the opening hours entry reads «not declared», and the operator does not publish hours elsewhere. So there is no official confirmation that the self-service pumps work 24 hours a day.

For an evening journey or a trip into the mountains it is wise to fill up before driving up into Val Serina, or during the day in the village. There are no filling stations either at Plassa or at the Passo di Zambla.

Petrol and diesel prices change often and this guide does not publish them. The official figure is the one every operator must report to the Ministry, which you can read on the Osservaprezzi carburanti portal by searching for Oltre il Colle or by searching an area.

In the Osservaprezzi area search, within a radius of 12 kilometres, the nearest station is in Serina, at via Dante Alighieri 20, about 3.5 kilometres away as the crow flies: a Retitalia with petrol and diesel, both self-service and attended. All the others are between 8 and 10 kilometres away as the crow flies: in Valle Brembana at Lenna, Valnegra and San Giovanni Bianco, on the Seriana side at Ponte Nossa and Casnigo. By road the distances are longer.

If your car runs on methane or LPG, plan ahead: within the search radius the only station selling them is the one in Casnigo, at via Serio 70, which the register shows as open Monday to Friday from 7.00 to 12.00 and from 14.00 to 19.00, on Saturday from 7.00 to 12.30 and closed on Sunday.

The road through Oltre il Colle is provincial road 27 of Val Serina. On every road of the Province of Bergamo, by order of the roads department, from 15 November to 15 April you must drive with winter tyres or carry snow chains; if there is snow or ice on the road, chains must be fitted if you do not have winter tyres. The rule also applies outside that period whenever it snows or the road freezes.

Piazzale degli Alpini is on via Roma, where the road to Zorzone branches off, about 120 metres as the crow flies from the town hall and 150 from the pharmacy. In summer 2026, from 4 July to 6 September, a mayor's order regulated parking on the square with the parking disc, from 8.00 to 20.00 and for a maximum of two hours.
