Albergo Neve

The hotel of Zambla Alta above the Neve restaurant, open since 1978: rooms with terraces, B&B, half or full board, a sledging field and summer snow tubing.

AddressVia Fezzoli 663, Zambla Alta, 24013 Oltre il Colle (BG)

The Albergo Neve occupies the floors above the Neve restaurant and pizzeria, on via Fezzoli in Zambla Alta: the restaurant has been welcoming customers since 1978 and the hotel is the only one the municipality lists as such in its territory. In the Polis Lombardia and Istat data on accommodation capacity, from 2019 to 2024 Oltre il Colle has a single hotel, with 18 beds.

The rooms, which the website describes as simple, all have a terrace overlooking the basin. You can stay bed and breakfast, half board or full board, with the restaurant's Bergamo cooking and the cheese, cured meats, butter, honey and jams of the house's own farm. There is a large car park in front of the entrance.

In winter the hotel's website lists a small ski lift with the learners' area used by the Oltre il Colle ski instructors, which L'Eco di Bergamo however reported as closed in December 2022, and a sledging field; in summer a garden and a snow tubing run on artificial grass. On the Lombardy Region tourism portal it is registered under code CIR 016146-ALB-00001 and CIN IT016146A1XIMYMBJ5.

Rooms and board: B&B, half board, full board

The website presents the rooms as simple but welcoming, designed for weekends in the basin, each with a terrace overlooking the view. It does not publish the number of rooms or their layout: to find out how many beds each has, ask when booking.

There are three options: bed and breakfast, half board and full board, with different prices in high and low season that the website itself calls approximate and subject to change. For a quote it refers you to the phone number and email on the contacts page.

The kitchen and the house farm

The Neve restaurant and pizzeria, open since 1978, serves Bergamo dishes made with ingredients from the house's own farm, which is near the restaurant and produces milk, cheese, butter, cured meats and other zero-mile products. The animals graze on the meadows of the Passo di Zambla, while honey and jams are produced higher up, at 1,500 metres.

The products are sold at the restaurant's bar, and during the year the farm organises guided visits in which the cheesemaker shows how cheese is made in the Bergamo tradition. The large hall, with an outdoor panoramic terrace, hosts ceremonies such as confirmations, first communions and weddings; for the 15 August 2026 holiday the restaurant published a special menu.

Ski lift, learners' area and snow tubing

In winter the property's website lists a small ski lift for downhill skiing with a learners' area where the instructors of the Scuola Sci Oltre il Colle teach, for first steps on skis. In December 2022, however, L'Eco di Bergamo wrote that the Neve lift was closed, and we have found no news of it reopening: ask the hotel before counting on it. Next to it there is a sledging field for families.

In summer there is a large garden and a snow tubing run on artificial grass, ridden on an inflatable ring; the Pro Loco also lists snow tubing in Zambla Alta at the Neve restaurant and pizzeria.
