AddressVia Santella 370/D, Zambla Alta, 24013 Oltre il Colle (BG)

Camping Zambla is the Tiraboschi family's campsite at via Santella 370/D, in Zambla Alta, below the Colle di Zambla and the walls of Monte Alben. It is open all year: in summer for the walks of the basin, in winter with the cross-country ski trail, the small ski slope and the bobsleigh and sledging slope close at hand. Besides the pitches, the family rents out flats all year round.

The price list takes small and large tents, cars and motorbikes, with electricity included in the pitch price, and the campsite has a chemical toilet disposal point for campervans. The campsite bar is the Piccola Parigi, and the same family has a farm producing cheeses, formagelle, butter and cured meats.

On the Lombardy Region tourism portal it is registered under code CIR 016146-CAM-00002 and CIN IT016146B1AG8UVYHQ: it is the only campsite in Oltre il Colle with a regional code published there.
