This itinerary offers an authentic encounter with the nature and history of Bergamo's mountains. Amid wide meadows and green expanses shaped by the work of farmer and rancher man, the landscape recounts centuries of rural life and summer grazing. In the villages of Costa Serina, Cornalba e Over the Hill, where industrialization has had less of an impact on the land, it is possible to admire ancient settlements with typical stone and wood architecture, simple and harmonious, preserving the quiet charm of the peasant world of the past.

La Via Mercatorum runs through these places like a thread of memory: an ideal itinerary among religious testimonies, panoramic views and rare floral species that make these mountains unique. The ancient communication routes used by man for travel, trade and encounters are unique and unmistakable and have the merit of reaching even the most remote locations.
A nature trail accessible to all, combining nature, culture and tradition, guiding visitors to discover authentic landscapes and a history that is still alive.
