Pro Loco Oltre il Colle

The association's website gives two schedules. In the quieter months the office opens only at weekends, on Saturday from 15.30 to 18 and on Sunday from 10 to 12; on public holidays and in summer it opens every day. The summer 2026 booklet gives the times: in June from Friday to Sunday, 9.30-12 and 15.30-18, in July and August every day, 9.30-12 and 16-18.30. For June the two sources disagree, as the website speaks of daily opening.

Other sources need care too: on 1 October 2026 the Pro Loco's Instagram profile still showed the daily summer hours, and the OpenStreetMap entry adds a Saturday-morning opening that the website does not mention. The reference remains the phone, 0345 95541, or the email oltreilcolleproloco@gmail.com; the association is also on Facebook (proloco.oltreilcolle) and on Instagram (@prolocooltreilcolle).

At the desk and on the phone it gives information on paths, accommodation, restaurants and services, takes registrations for many summer events and sells the book «Sentieri di fede. Itinerari alla scoperta delle Santelle di Oltre il Colle», about the small wayside chapels scattered through the woods of the basin. It publishes a booklet with the summer programme: the 2026 edition, out in May under the patronage of the municipality, has 48 pages of calendar, useful numbers, mountain huts and advertisements from local businesses.

The oltreilcolleturismo.it portal belongs to the municipality, which commissioned it at the end of 2024, while the Pro Loco runs it and is the data controller, as the council executive decided in May 2026; in the same resolution the municipality notes that, after a privacy check, it asked the developer to fix the links to the municipal website and some data reported incorrectly. The portal also has a Rentals section: on 1 October 2026 it held eleven listings, eight in the main village, one in Zambla Alta and two in Zorzone, from studio flats to a mountain hut, with rooms, beds and the owner's contact details, to be contacted directly.

Municipal records document other tasks in recent years: from August to October 2023 the Pro Loco ran the municipal service centre at the Colle di Zambla, from 2022 to October 2024 it had three municipal e-bikes on loan, and between 2021 and 2023 it received one-off grants for the Christmas lights and trees. For the 2024 and 2025 summer camps the municipality passed on to it the funds received from the national government, and in 2026 it organised the summer camp «Bella fra!» with the parish of Serina, from 29 June to 24 July.

The calendar the Pro Loco presents on its website starts in February with Carnevale & Oltre, the parade of floats and masked groups through the village streets: in 2026 it took place on Saturday 14 February, opening a Carnival week that lasted until the 21st. From June to September there is the Estate a Oltre il Colle programme; in July the Festa della Montagna at Pian della Palla, in its fourth edition on 19 July 2026; on 13 August the Sagra del Balòch at the Passo di Zambla, an afternoon of traditional country games with a market of local produce, in its thirteenth edition in 2026. In November the Sagra d'Autunno returns to the centre of the main village, with music, folk groups, market stalls, roast chestnuts and mulled wine; from December to March there are markets and cinema for children.

In summer 2026 the booklet named the Pro Loco as the contact for information and registration for many smaller events: the Qi Gong course, the burraco tournaments, the children's market, the «Sbaracco cantine» second-hand market in piazza Carrara, the Marcia dei draghetti and the helicopter service for the Monte Menna festival. There were also two competitions, «Balconi fioriti» (flowering balconies) and «Una montagna di Lego» for children aged 5 to 13, with prizes given on the evening of 16 August during the tombola; the Pro Loco's mid-August tombola already appears in municipal records for the 2023 and 2024 editions.

For autumn and winter the booklet refers to the association's website and social profiles: on 1 October 2026 the online calendar did not yet show any events.

The 2026 card costs 25 euros, 10 for under-18s, and is valid for the calendar year: it is renewed every January. You download the form from the website, hand it in at the office or send it by email and pay the fee. According to the booklet it gives reduced rates on the tennis and five-a-side football pitches and the chance to add a flat to the rental listings; the website adds taking part in organising events, agreements and discounts with local businesses and a vote at members' meetings.

The membership form gives the office at via Roma 201, the phone number 0345 95541 and the email oltreilcolleproloco@gmail.com; the web address printed on the same form, however, was not responding on 1 October 2026.

The agreement with the municipality lets the Pro Loco use, free of charge, the municipal tennis, volleyball and basketball courts in via Capriana, with toilets and changing rooms, in return for cleaning and routine maintenance. There are two tennis courts, with artificial grass, which the website places at the Oltre il Colle sports centre; OpenStreetMap maps them in via Capriana together with a basketball court and a football pitch, about 300 metres as the crow flies from the Pro Loco office.

They are used in the summer season, from 9 to 18. In 2026 an hour cost 12 euros, 10 for members. You book with the form on the website, choosing date, court and time slot, but the booking is only valid once the Pro Loco confirms it; for information the number is the office's.

The office is at via Roma 201, the main street of the main village. As the crow flies, according to this guide's coordinates, the post office at via Roma 189 is about thirty metres away, the parish church of San Bartolomeo about fifty and the town hall in piazza Monsignor Belotti about 170.

By bus you arrive on Arriva–Bergamo Trasporti line B, changing at Zogno: on the Val Serina section buses run Monday to Saturday and the stop in the main village is piazza Tiraboschi, about sixty metres from the Pro Loco. By car, the nearest free public car park mapped on OpenStreetMap is the one a few steps from the church, about 60 metres away; there are also roadside spaces along via Roma.
