The \u201cBecco\u201d of Dossena is a free and free access gangway, overhanging a 250 metres high Parina Valley cliff.<\/p>\n
It was named Becco (Beak) because of its shape and it is located at Culmine del Paglio, 2 kilometres from the centre of Dossena: it is a 16 metres long overhanging gangway, with a view over Parina Valley and over Ortighera Mountain. The construction was designed by \u201cFontana&Lotti Lorenzi – Ingegneri associati\u201d Studio and realised by Fitzcarraldo Co. Ltd, and its realisation took about one year.<\/p>\n
The aim of the project is to create a panoramic view that allows Dossena to complete the valorisation of its mining area with an open-air view of the rock, an element that \u201cunderground\u201d characterises the tracks of the dismissed galleries, which are in the process of being arranged.<\/p>\n
By climbing to the \u201cBecco\u201d you can feel the emotion of walking in the void admiring an immense Wilderness Area, a wild area, untouched by man for decades. \u201cParina\u201d stream, which gives the name to the valley, is a particularly evocative landscape that marks out its trait with many wonderful karstic phenomena, like \u201cthe giants\u2019 potholes\u201d in white marble.\nThis Wilderness Area is partially located inside the Regional Park of Orobie Bergamasche, more precisely about half of it (Ortighera Mountain southern slope).<\/p>\n<\/div>

To get there you just have to set up “Miniere di Dossena” as your destination on Google Maps and, once you park your car in the square in front of the motocross track (easily reachable with a 200 metres long dirt track), you have to go down on a concrete downhill and enter a dirt square; at the end of it, a dirt track starts. At first, you find a concrete building called \u201cSanta Barbara\u201d, once a deposit of the explosive used in the mines, then you find a rise that lasts about 20 minutes. When you arrive on a plateau with a view over the entire Brembana Valley, you still have to go upwards for about 500 metres, until you arrive at a wooden staircase that finally leads you to the Becco to admire the entire Parina Valley.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
