The climb towards Upper Bergamo is short yet rewarding. Once you are at the top you can enjoy the panoramic view of the lower part of the city.

Its historic center is a real treasure that has been carefully preserved to this day. Get off your bike and walk among its streets and perhaps enjoy a dessert such as polenta e osèi in one of the cafés of Piazza Vecchia.

Once you leave Bergamo, the hills will e colline vi terranno compagnia sulla vostra sinistra per tutta questa tappa, mentre attraversate la campagna e i suoi piccoli insediamenti.
Then there is a brief slope down to the Oglio river: follow it towards north until you arrive to Lake Iseo, the framed mirror of the Alps. Stop at Sarnico for the time being and relax by having an ice cream and walking along the lake front. The next stage will take you to southern shores.
