Bordering Pilzone di Iseo, a picturesque gulf formed by the beautiful peninsula of Montecolo accommodates the Nautical Association Sebina that makes Sulzano a landmark for sailing lovers. Here it is possible to practice the sport to the fullest. Characteristic lake hamlet, with hidden alleys and houses very close to each other, Sulzano is now the most convenient port to reach Monte Isola thanks to the frequent day and night trips.

SIGHTSEEING ATTRACTIONS
Proving that the original nucleus was built in the hills and developed on the lake only after the construction of the coastal road in 1850, the eighteenth-century parish church dedicated to San Giorgio is located in the upper part of the village. The church has a single nave with baroque decorations. Higher up, in a panoramic position, along the Ancient Valerian Road, lies the church of Santi Fermo e Rustico (15th century). The façade is a gable with rose window and the interior is a single nave with trussed roof.  A walk in the typical lakeside hamlet, via Cadorna, leads to a romantic corner at the church of the Visitation.  Every 5 years, Sulzano celebrates its patron saint with the Palio del Drago.

NOT TO BE MISSED
Panoramic view from Santa Maria del Giogo – Here is where the artist Vladimir Christo preferred to see his work from above (“The Floating Piers” 18 June – 3 July 2016). Reachable on foot, by mountain bike or by car along the road to Nistisino, at a height of about 1000 meters, there is the fifteenth-century church of Santa Maria del Giogo where there are many frescoes of the ‘400 and ‘500. The view over the lake is breathtaking. It is also a pleasant destination for a picnic or to enjoy a typical dish in the nearby trattoria.
