Big Bench #97
About 40 km from Bergamo, Colli di San Fermo is a delightful district of the municipality of Grone, and offers memorable views over Val Cavallina. Woods, meadows and pastures, scenery that can be enjoyed from the mountain chain, just over 1000 metres high, looking out onto the Po Valley on one side and the Bergamo Alps on the other.
It is in a strategic position for the super-colourful giant bench, Big Bench #97 in yellow and white.
The choice of colours is no coincidence, and reflects the narcissus, the flower that symbolises Colli di San Fermo, once picked by local women and children to sell to tourists. A deeply significant choice that reflects the Big Bench Community aim of making the most of and promoting the local area.
To get to Big Bench #97, leave your vehicle in the large car park in Colli di San Fermo, near the Panoramic Belvedere, a refuge and a pond. From here, continue on foot along the route marked by the Cammina Orobie project. You will come to the Bench after about one hundred metres. A little further on, there is another blue and brown bench, not part of the Bangle collection, dedicated to the COVID victims of Val Seriana.
