Clear answers to optimise your experience

In this article we are going to explore some of the main frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the access to “the Becco” (beak) and we will give you advice for tackling them in the best way to improve your experience and not to be caught unprepared.

  • How to get to Dossena “Becco”?

To reach Dossena “Becco”, you just have to set on Google Maps this CAR PARK as your destination; please note that from this point the road becomes very narrow, it would be difficult to proceed if you found cars coming from the opposite direction. You will walk 2 km on a flat road, with a view to the entire Brembana Valley and Taleggio Valley, towards “Miniere di Dossena”.

Once you go beyond a concrete path, you will find a wooden notice board on your left, that indicates “Miniere di Dossena”, and a path about 100 metres long, that leads to the mining area (easily recognisable thanks to the engines and carriages on the square). At that point, you will find the first white and red road signs with “Becco” indications; the itinerary from the mines to the panoramic terrace lasts about 20 minutes, and it takes place on a quite steep, unpaved road.

For anybody who would like to shorten the route, you can arrive up to this “AREA” with limited parking lots or even reach the mining area, keeping in mind that the road is narrow.
