Just a few
kilometers from
Brescia city,
the Trompia Valley rises up,
with its mountains and typical
alpine landscape, natural setting
of the daily routine of a population based
on mine working and steel industry,
on farm animals and on cultivation
of lands and woods.
Today this area offers a good
opportunity to discover the secrets
of farmer tradition,
iron mining and incandescent
metal manufacturing, in addition
to a skiing district, located at
2000 meters of altitude,
only 50 km from the city centre.
Live an unforgettable experience
going through the Iron and Mining
Route, the Sacred and Art Route
and The Wood Tell routes,
combined with expert and
passionate operators.
Enjoy yourself on our ski runs,
in winter, or walking in the
wonderful setting of mountains
during good weather.
Use the occasion to taste our area
through scents, colours and
rustic tastes of our typical dishes.
We are waiting for
you in the Trompia Valley
along the
Iron Route!

“…The Trompia Valley
is covered by
perfumed woods and
grassy fields […]
stretched since
millenniums on its
great economic fortune:
iron-deposits […]
Soil and rock masses
that form the surrounding
mountains were, in remotest
prehistory, a seabed.
Even now, they preserve
intact small fossil treasures,
that surface here and there
between rocks.”
Gigi Simeoni
THE IRON AND
MINING ROUTE
Enjoy a unique experience
in the underground tunnels
of disused mines, discover the
world of fusion and the processing
of iron hammers by visiting the
magli and the blast furnace and
admiring artifacts made by Valle
Trompia artisans in the Museum of
Weapons and Arm Traditions of
Gardone V.T.
Numerous and precious works
will astonish visitors of all ages.
The landscapes of the high Valley
are framed by the mountain peak
settings of Dosso Alto, Alpe
Pezzeda, Colombine, Muffetto,
Maniva and Guglielmo, where the
monument to the Redeemer and
the bronze sculpture dedicated to
Pope Paul VI stand out.
In these peaks, nature reveals
itself in all its majesty, along
routes with rhododendrons and
marmots, small alpine lakes,
hill countries and woods far away
from traffic and city noise.
A place of particular interest is the
Wide Area of Valgrigna Mountains,
which is situated between the Trompia
Valley and Camonica Valley,
characterized by a unique cultural
heritage, certified by Mesolithic
Period proofs.
For those who love stars,
we recommend also the Astronomical
Observatory on San Bernardo hill
in Lumezzane.
HISTORY
THE WOOD ROUTE
In order to rediscover rural
tradition of our mountains,
the tour starts from the
Etnographic Museum of Lodrino.
During beautiful season the
path goes outside along beautiful
trails where you can relive
historical activities prevalent
in this area (wolves hunting,
coal production, etc) and
major events in the history
of the twentieth century,
such as the Great War and
the Resistance.
LEISURE TIME
The natural landscape of the high
Trompia Valley, together with
its proximity to Brescia city,
makes it the favourite destination
for tourists who like nature and
open air sports.
The skiing district Maniva Ski
with ski runs suitable to all
degrees of difficulty, snowpark
and bobsled track represents
an irresistible enticement for
the skiers who can also practice
alpine skiing, ice skating and
walking with snow shoe.
During good weather on our
mountains is possible walking
through excursionistic paths
with varying degrees of difficulty
and length (among these, the
famous 3V Path, that crosses
the three main valleys of Brescia),
horse-riding or cycling,
practice Nordic walking, go fishing,
training with mountain bike
on mountain paths and the Mountain
Bike Park Pezzeda tracks,
face rock climbings for
amateurs and experts.
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURE
GASTRONOMY
ART
A red thread relates the town
of Brescia with the Valley,
both from artistical and cultural
point of view, with a series
of monumental buildings including
some prestigious medieval towers
which have been converted to
showcase areas and the Pietro Malossi
Home Museum situated in Ome.
Furthermore, a devotional itinerary
made by parishes, cathedrals,
churches, hermitages and sanctums
allows visitors to admire exquisite
paintings and frescos that come
from the Ferramola, Moretto and
Romanino’s school.
But the real enticement of religious
tourism in the valley is given by
the Pope Paul VI’s Native Home in
Concesio and the Paul VI’s Collection
of Contemporary Art, that houses
some international artists,
like Chagalle, Picasso, Dalì,
Magritte and many more.
Real flagship and absolute pride of
dairy production of the Trompia Valley
is the homemade cheese Valtrompia
D.O.P., derived from homemade
and traditional milk production that
comes from villages on our hills.
Made by ancent methods and made
more tasty with an addiction of a pinch
of saffron, this full and strong flavor
cheese can combine with formagelle,
ricotta, butter of alpine hut, blue
goats, stracchini and caciotte.
Apart from cheese, honey and jams
rigorously biological and of high
quality, mushrooms, chestnuts,
mixed berries and peaches can’t be
missed.
International fairs and places
where is possible to taste fruits
and traditional dishes of the area
are numerous, like casoncelli
bresciani and traditional skewer
with polenta e osei combined with
savoury handmade
cold cuts and homemade sausages.
