The Lower Sebino area lies in the hinge zone between the fertile Po Valley and the first ripples of that part of the Alpine chain that geologists call the Southern Alps.
Geographically well-defined it encompasses the southern part of the Bergamo side of Lake Iseo and the immediate hinterland, almost all of which is occupied by steep hills and mountains going from an elevation of 197 m a.s.l. at Sarnico to 753 m a.s.l.
of Parzanica to the summit of Mount Bronzone, 1,334 m above sea level.
The villages included are: Adrara San Martino, Adrara San Rocco, Castelli Calepio, Chiuduno, Credaro, Foresto Sparso, Gandosso, Grumello del Monte, Parzanica, Predore, Sarnico, Tavernola B.sca, Viadanica, and Vigolo, for a total territory of about 123 km2 and a total of about 53,000 inhabitants.
The small settlements, linked by common historical events, are united by a precise environmental identity: Lake Iseo (or Sebino).
The beauty of the places, happily defined as “between the mountains and the lake,” is also reflected in the historic villages with elements of fortress structures, sanctuaries and extraordinary art treasures.
The communities facing the lake combine architectural elements of ancient nobility, traces of industrial archaeology, and modern tourist facilities, while the hinterland allows the happy discovery of a rural and mountain civilization in many respects still intact.
The Lower Sebino is, moreover, all to be discovered for its food and wine, typical products (cheese, salami, honey, wine, olive oil…), trekking along the hill paths, water sports, cultural and folk events.
