A thousand meters above sea level, in the heart of the Orobic Pre-Alps, here is the Selvino and Aviatico Plateau.

Just 20 kilometers from Bergamo and 60 from Milan, the 'Plateau easily indulges its guests. From the capital, where there are train and bus stations, the A4 highway and the international airport of Orio al Serio, the journey by car or bus is a very short one. But L'Altopiano can also count on the connection to the valley floor, in just 8 minutes, thanks to a scenic cable car: here is the boast of starting a vacation in style!

Its fame stems from the wonderful natural landscape, the tradition of hospitality, the efficiency of services and modern sports facilities, as well as the range of events and manifestations that dot every period of the year, always capable of fulfilling the desires of those seeking an all-round vacation or a weekend with a unique flavor.

The 'Plateau tells myths of ancient paths and passages of men in arms or peaceful; to tell how the village of Selvino was born, historians intervene: around the year 1000, Salvino Grittis fled from Bergamo, shaken by civil discord, reached the Plateau and built a village that took his name. Over the centuries the settlement grew in population and had a thriving economy. Beginning in the last century, the inhabitants of Selvino were able, with resourcefulness, to grasp the beauty of the place and identified tourism as their future. They thus began the long tradition of hospitality that today makes Selvino one of the most beloved resorts in the Orobie Mountains.
