The best place to stay around here is definitely Wooden bridge.
It is easy to find family-run hotels, even recently renovated, where half board is often included in the rate. During the NOT high season, doubles can also be found at 55 Euros. We have pleasantly stayed atBleis hotel, managed in a family environment where each guest does not feel like a customer, but part of the family.
This quaint village of Camonica valley which rises at 1.258mslm and has a strong link with Italian history, it was in fact completely razed to the ground on 27 September 1917 during the bombings of the First World War and only 2 buildings remain intact. One of these buildings is the primary school, now home to the “History of the Bicycle - The Tour of Italy in Pontedilegno” museum. This museum, as explained with meticulousness and great passion by Edoardo Nonelli, has the ambition of wanting to tell the history of this country through the bicycle and the particular way, confirming the passage of the Giro d'Italia in Ponte di Legno. Highly recommended for all curious and bicycle lovers. Free admission.
Touching in the background is a panel with the themes of the children of the Dalignese elementary school - inhabitants of Ponte di Legno - dated 1952, which is the historic date of the first passage of the Giro d'Italia in the town, the first real contact with tourism through television.
"On the balconies some tricolor colors are waving and the walls of the road leading to the Tonale are smeared with exciting writings ..." words of Paola Rossi, one of the elementary school girls, the winner of the competition.
In addition to the center of Ponte di Legno which stands out with its various typical and particular shops, we highly recommend visiting the "Sounds and voices of the White War" museum at the Paradiso Gallery (next to the Paradiso refuge that we will mention later), an authentic archive of the memory of that border war that too often goes unnoticed or without due historical weight.
Bullet cases, small grenades, helmets, snowshoes and skis, knives… hidden, enclosed in a gallery dated 1921. Free entrance.
