Transport

It’s easy to get to the resorts in the Orobica Recently the road network in the two most important valleys, the Brembana and the Seriana Valley, has been developed (widening, tunnels, by passes etc.), particularly the Brembo trunk-road, assuring a calm homecoming thanks to the higher traffic flow. The resorts in the Orobica area, are more or less one and a half hours by car from Milan, a distance of no more than 100 km. A widespread bus network serves all the main roads to the winter sport resorts of the Province of Bergamo, and the Orio airport is sited at a strategical spot to reach the two most important valleys. Overnight stays are increasingly popular in addition to the week-end and Sunday ski-goers are also arriving charter and week-long skiing fans. The majority of ski resorts are located approximately 1 hour or 100km from Milan Orio al Serio International Airport. The airport is strategically placed giving easy access to the excellent road network that leads you through the Valleys of the Serio and the Brembo to your resort.
