Restaurants in Oltre il Colle and Zambla

You drive up the same road, the SP27 of the Val Serina, which runs through the main village as via Roma and through Zambla Alta as via Prealpina and reaches the Colle di Zambla. As the crow flies the Drago is just under two kilometres from the Miramonti and about two kilometres from the Trapper; in Zambla Alta the Miramonti, the Quattro Cime and the Neve are within 300 metres of one another, and from the Neve to the Trapper it is about 750.

The Miramonti faces the «Zambla Alta Albergo Miramonti» bus stop, the Trapper stands next to the Passo Zambla terminus. At the pass, just over the boundary in the municipality of Oneta, there is also the restaurant of the Centro Sportivo Valle, which in its 2026 advertisement offers traditional dishes with polenta.

Those that publish prices give an idea of the bill. At the Quattro Cime casoncelli cost 9.50 euros, the mixed grill with polenta 19 and a pizza margherita 5; at the Neve, on the July 2026 menus, casoncelli 10 euros, polenta taragna with mushrooms 13 and pizzas from 5 to 10. For Easter and Ferragosto 2026 the Quattro Cime offered set menus at 55 euros for adults, wine included, and at 35 and 25 euros for children.

The valley's cheeses and cured meats are the common thread: the Neve uses those of its own farm and sells them at the bar, the Trapper says its cured meats and cheeses are home-produced, and the Quattro Cime puts Branzi and formagella on its pizzas and, on request, prepares polenta cunsada and dishes with wild herbs.

None of the five publishes full opening hours; the Drago, on its pages of past years, gave Tuesday as its closing day. Phoning is the surest way, and at Al Trapper a booking is required.

Without a car you can come for lunch but not for dinner: Arriva's line B runs Monday to Saturday only, and in the timetable valid from 14 September 2026 to 8 June 2027 the last bus down towards Zogno leaves the Passo Zambla at 16:50 and passes Zambla Alta at 16:52 and piazza Tiraboschi at 17:03.

For a pizza or a quick meal in the main village there are the Café Carrara and the Bar Pizzeria Cristallo, on the pizzerias page, and the pizza by the slice of the La Fonte ice-cream shop. At the Passo di Zambla the Pro Loco also lists the La Baita bar among its places to eat. Higher up you can eat at the mountain huts, which have their own entries in the Things to do section: the Capanna 2000, on the Arera, announces in its 2026 advertisement that it opens every weekend from September.
