Descrizione
There are two options to get to Filaressa’s place, that is you can start walking from Busa’s place in Alzano Lombardo or you can drive as far as Monte di Nese (800 meters high). The second option is obviously the shortest and easiest. For those who decide to ascend walking, the track starts by the “santella” (votive niche) in via Fornaci. Here is the starting point of an easy mule track, that leads ou to Monte di Nese twisting and turning through the woods and crossing more than once the paved road. The first section winds through copse wood and fields, then the path carries on among wild fields and pastures. Halfway you reach Burro’s place (Butter’s place), from where you both overlook the plane and look up to your destination. At Burro’s height you join path 532 coming up from Olera. As you enter Monte di Nese village (1 hour walk from the starting point) you get to the impressive church and after a while you join the path to Monte Filaressa. By the church there are a few parking places, useful for those who have decided to skip the first section of the track. From there you shortly get first to Forcellino with its little church and its panoramic view over Medium and Higher Brembana valley and then to the fork with path 533 that leads to Canto Basso and Alto one side or to Salmezza on the other side. You keep on walking up right side through pastures and wild fields, running along Filaressa (1033 meters high, short ascent on the sunny side that drifts from the signed path) and then you clamber toward Costone from where you get an amazing view over Bergamo’s plane and Lecco’s mountains. As you go past “Fontanì di Cop” (Cop’s fountain), the track goes down toward the tiny country village of Salmezza (1127 meters high), where the painter Enea da Salmezza is probably born.
