Holiday apartment in Collio – discover the mountains, mine and Maniva

Collio and its surroundings combine mountain sports, industrial history and alpine landscapes. The CAI trail to Corna Blacca, the facilities of the former Miniera Sant’Aloisio and the Maniva ski area offer different possibilities for active days during your holiday. There are also the Chiesa di San Rocco and the parish church of SS. Nazario e Celso. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Collio, you can therefore base your choice on the combination of hiking, winter activities, history and culture you prefer.

Mountains and hiking around Collio

Corna Blacca, a peak, and Monte Dasdana, a mountain, are located near Collio. Monte Crestoso and Dosso Alto are also in the surrounding area. The CAI Trail No. 349–3V offers a specific hiking idea: it leads from Collio via Pezzeda to Corna Blacca. Those who want to make the trail itself or the mountain landscape the focus of their stay will therefore find a clear basis for planning their days.

Underground experiences at Miniera Sant’Aloisio

Miniera Sant’Aloisio can be experienced on several levels. The Trekking Minerario service is a guided underground tour lasting around one and a half hours. In addition, the mine’s speleoclimatic centre extends for 1,400 m and includes a ride of approximately 400 m on a small train through the tunnels. Above ground, the Adventure Park allows visitors to explore the surface facilities of the former mine via Tibetan bridges, ropes, walkways and ladders. The approximately one-and-a-half-hour guided tour and the approximately 400 m small-train ride represent two sections of different lengths for planning your day.

Maniva ski area and access via the pass

For a winter holiday, the Maniva ski area is another point of reference. It has more than 40 km of ski slopes and 9 ski lifts. The ski area is accessed via Passo del Maniva, which can be reached from Valle Trompia via Collio–San Colombano. If skiing and mountain scenery are more important to you than a hike or a visit to the mine, this information can determine the focus of your holiday in Collio.

Churches and regional culture

The Chiesa di San Rocco is a stop on the Via del Sacro e dell’Arte of the Ecomuseo di Valle Trompia – La Montagna e l’Industria. The parish church of SS. Nazario e Celso was completed in 1785.

Planning your trip to Collio

When choosing accommodation in Collio, it is worth first deciding on your preferred daily rhythm: should the CAI trail to Corna Blacca define your stay, or the guided tour through the mine, the Adventure Park or access to the Maniva ski area?
