Branzi

Branzi sits on the Brembo River in Lombardy, where the upper Brembana Valley narrows between the Orobie Alps. This small community in the Bergamo mountains stands amid steep wooded slopes and high pastures, with Lago di Branzi, a hydroelectric reservoir, just above the village. Mountain dairying remains central to its identity: Branzi is also the name of a local semi-cooked cow’s-milk cheese, while the wider upper valley is associated with Formai de Mut dell’Alta Valle Brembana DOP. Trails in the surrounding valleys connect the settlement with the high Orobie landscape. See how Branzi belongs to the upper Brembana Valley by browsing webcams nearby.
