The Infopoint Lago d'Iseo e Franciacorta, located on the Lungolago Marconi in Iseo, is open all year round with a multilingual staff to meet all users' requests with kindness and professionalism.   The main services offered to visitors are: Tourist information and distribution of material related to the history, nature, culture, art, sports, and enogastronomy of the area, the entire province of Brescia, and the major cities of Lombardy; Distribution of maps of trails, hikes, and bicycle and pedestrian routes to discover Lake Iseo and Franciacorta; Information on transportation, road conditions, accommodation, and dining facilities; Information on events and shows in the area and province; Release and stamping of #thePassport #inLombardy; Decentralized desk of the Autorità di Bacino Lacuale dei Laghi d'Iseo, Endine e Moro. Enchanting and romantic, Lake Iseo enjoys a unique landscape of wooded mountains and striking cliffs, hills and olive groves, which frame the beautiful Monte Isola, one of the “Borghi più belli d'Italia” and Eden Award 2010. Small villages line the lakeshore between Paratico and Pisogne. Iseo concentrates the sparkling social life between Piazza Garibaldi, the castle and its churches. The medieval Torre del Vescovo (Bishop's Tower) towers in Pisogne's square. At the mouth of the road leading into Val Palot stands the 15th-century Church of the Madonna della Neve, known for its marvelous cycle of frescoes by Romanino. Mount Guglielmo (1949 m. asl) and the Erosion Pyramids (a curious geologic phenomenon) of Zone are among the natural environments to be discovered, not before strolling among Marone's most fascinating corners. To the south, the lake melts into a harmonious landscape ensemble: Franciacorta, a land of ancient traditions, villas, castles, monasteries and abbeys, vineyards and celebrated wineries where the famous Franciacorta DOCG is produced. The food and wine uniting Franciacorta and Lake Iseo is a major attraction, combining fine wines with local products. Above all, the baked tench with polenta from Clusane, the beef with oil from Rovato, and the spit from Gussago. Franciacorta bubbles cannot be missed. Competing with the Franciacorta vineyards are the olive groves that make Marone an “oil town.” The production of grappa is prized. Hospitality is widespread in hotels, campgrounds, farmhouses and B&Bs. Trattorias and restaurants are present in considerable numbers and of high quality.

Welcome to Valdidentro, a short distance from Bormio and Livigno: the ideal destination for a wellness holiday surrounded by nature.

    Closed in 1972 and reopened in 1999, this exciting route into the depths of the mountain deserves the distinction of opening our tour of the valley. It is part of the "Via del Ferro e delle Miniere" itinerary.   Before entering the Mine, visitors are shown a video to help introduce them to the geological environment of mining life, through evocative images and sounds that will enrich their sensory experience. Equipped with safety helmets, they will then be escorted into the historical atmosphere of the mine and along ancient, long-abandoned tunnels, aboard a characteristic yellow train. Here, expert guides will illustrate the features of the mining site and explain mineral-excavating methods and the harsh working conditions miners were forced to endure. Glimpses of dark shapes in the side tunnels will make the trip even more evocative.Our next step is to visit the museum dedicated to mining and ironworking, another stop on the "Via del Ferro e delle Minere" itinerary of Val Trompia's museum network. Housed in a building that was once reserved for production activities and mine employees, the museum consists of two sections: one dedicated to detailing the historical and scientific realities of the local mining industry, the other to the iron works of sculptor Vittorio Piotti (1935-2000).   (Ph: panorama.it)
