Nestled at the foot of the Presolana, Castione with its two hamlets, Bratto and Dorga and the characteristic as ancient core of Rusio, represents a pearl of local tourism.

Located on a vast plateau degrading towards the Valle di Tede and the Gera stream, surrounded by Presolana, the pass to the Valle di Scalve and the mountainous reliefs that separate it from the Valley Camonica, Castione is located at an altitude of 870 meters above sea level and currently has a population of 3286 inhabitants.

Queen of local tourism and second homes, Castione, draws its origins in prehistoric times, when it was inhabited by ancient populations who lived on hunting and shepherding. These populations left a trace in the fortress of the pre-Roman era, called 'castle', and in the Valley of the Mills where a tomb was found with human bones and pieces inside, whose dough was found recalls those found in the oldest part of the country.

The following centuries left their mark in the historical part of the small capital of the upper valley especially in building art with the fifteenth-century portals and arcades, in the Palace of Justice ( today the seat of the board room) and in the Borghi house. Castione offers many opportunities for sportsmen: from the summer bob slope, to winter skating rinks, to rock gyms. But not only that, in addition to the well-equipped ski lifts, there are also an archery field and a beautiful riding school.
