View of the Fior d'Alpe–Cancano Military Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the third bend of the military road, descending from the Torri di Fraele, you can take the Decouville road, a splendid route to do for example by mountain bike that leads to the enchanting Val Viola.

View of Lake Cancano and the dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Accessible by car (upon payment of an access ticket), by bus, and by bicycle or on foot... Limited traffic, but be careful, the road can also be accessed with a small passage, but is not protected... I recommend going on foot or by bicycle... Always check the weather forecast, the weather changes suddenly, and the paths are subject to landslides and collapses.

Dam Between Lago di Cancano and Lago di San Giacomo

Highlight • Monument

To separate Lake Cancano and Lake San Giacomo, there is a dam that can be easily traveled by bike and from which you can enjoy an excellent view over the entire Fraele Valley.
