The ‘Via Priula’ was an ancient route, built by the Venetians (who ruled Bergamo during the XVI century) to connect Bergamo itself with Coira, in Switzerland. A part of it still exists, and it goes from the Village of Mezzoldo to the San Marco Pass (1992 m), connecting the Brembana Valley with Valtellina. It is now a beautiful path, easy and suitable for everyone.
