Tips from the Community
One of the few ancient constructions, found in the Bergamo area, in which dairy products produced at high altitude were stored for aging and conservation. The Selter del Ruì is, in its characteristic stone construction with a vaulted roof covered with earth, a close relative of the more famous Tuscan Burraie. Which, however, have the characteristic of running water in their internal tanks. Here, replaced by a cold flow of air that crosses the small construction.

According to history, Möschel was the scene in 774 AD of a battle between the troops of the Lombard Prince Alano and part of those of Charlemagne, who had pursued him along the Valle di Scalve. The huts (5) form a tiny village in the plain of the same name. Half a century ago they were still stone huts dedicated to summer grazing. Now they have all been converted into rural high-altitude dwellings. Il Möschel is the starting point for Passo dello Scagnello and Rif. Albani; and for the ascent to Ferrantino and Ferrante. A little before, in the woods, there is a charming bivouac.

Charming little village, composed of a cluster of houses. Upon arrival, the Baroque church with its splendid pronaos makes a beautiful display. It is dedicated to Saint Margaret and richly frescoed. It is worth a stop to visit. A little further on, in the center of the small village, a beautiful fountain/washhouse.

Convenient starting point for reaching various places including Monte Sparavera. The parking lot can accommodate about thirty cars, and along the road about 7/8 more. Remember to get the scratch-off parking permit, available for purchase in the municipalities of Peia or Ranzanico (it is not the same one needed for M.Farno).
