Guide alpine di Oltre il Colle

The table brings together the contacts published by the Pro Loco and by the regional association's register, where each guide has a page with registration number, phone, email and specialities. For Gianluigi Carrara the two sources give mobile numbers that differ in the last digits: 329 9609565 the Pro Loco, 329 9609595 the register.

The Pro Loco recommends the village guides for climbing, exploring high altitudes and tackling demanding outings, but also for snowshoe walks in winter and for hikes adapted to families. In her advertisement in the summer 2026 booklet Nadia Tiraboschi lists climbing, via ferratas, hiking, canyoning and courses for beginners and advanced climbers.

The crags of the Torrione Brassamonti, the Maurizio via ferrata, the ascents of Arera, Grem and Menna and the snowshoe walks in the Conca dell'Alben have their own pages in the Things to do section, with times, difficulty and access.

The Pro Loco's summer 2026 booklet gave an idea of Nadia Tiraboschi's calendar: canyoning trips “for everyone”, suitable for families and adults, on many dates in July and August; two days of family canyoning, on 3 and 17 July; a climbing course at basic, intermediate and advanced level from 15 to 17 July and from 11 to 13 August; and three “Voce di montagna” aperitifs with the guide at Edo Sport, in Zambla Alta. For bookings the contact was 335 5426993.

In August 2024 La Voce delle Valli presented family canyoning as suitable also for families with children aged 6 and over. On her website, which can no longer be reached, the guide described the gorges of the Bergamo valleys from June to September, in the Val Cavallina, Val Seriana and Val Brembana, and recommended in particular the Fiumenero, in the Val Seriana, a route she had bolted herself, suitable for first-timers; the basic course consisted of three half-day outings for a maximum of five people.

You contact the guide directly, by phone or email: we found no shared office, no fixed calendar of outings and no published rates, apart from the dates in the Pro Loco's summer booklet. Ask for the price when you make your request.

To check that whoever leads you is qualified, the register of the Lombardy regional association of mountain guides is online: for each guide it shows the registration number, professional base and specialities.

Nadia Tiraboschi, born in Oltre il Colle where she lives with her family, writes on her website that she obtained her mountain guide licence at 28. With Pierangelo Maurizio, a guide from Zambla, she climbed Fitz Roy in 1995 and, at the beginning of 1996, Cerro Torre in Patagonia, as the CAI Valserina recalls; in 2004 she took part in the Italian expedition for the fiftieth anniversary of the first ascent of K2, and on 17 May 2007 she was on the summit of Everest with a small alpine-style expedition of friends, from which Maurizio did not return.

In 2011, L'Eco di Bergamo reports, Mattia Cavagna and the Fancy Mountain association re-bolted some twenty pitches on the Torrione Brassamonti and the neighbouring point, fixed up the Bottiglione and equipped the main boulder of the Corni dell'acqua, with the idea of turning the Val Serina into a great climbing gym for every level. The following year, according to the CAI Valserina, the via ferrata on the Alben named after Pierangelo Maurizio was completed; on Nadia Tiraboschi's website the via ferrata page asks those who climb it to report any anomalies to the mountain guides of Oltre il Colle.
