Parco dell'Alto Sebino is a protected regional park situated at the northern terminus of Lake Iseo in the province of Bergamo. It serves as a biological and landscape corridor connecting the Oglio River valley to the Prealps. The terrain encompasses diverse elevations, ranging from the lakeside shores of Lovere to the mountainous slopes of the Orobie range. The preserve features a network of paths designed for hiking and mountain biking that traverse woods, meadows, and agricultural terraces. Its geography plays a critical role in local watershed management for the Sebino basin. Visitors can access panoramic viewpoints overlooking the lake and the Camonica Valley.
