It is worth a visit, in winter with snow and in summer to swim in the lakes, a shame about the crowds that lately flock to these places.

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this artificial terrace overlooking Val di Mello you can enjoy a postcard landscape. Located a handful of kilometers from the end of the valley, it offers an eagle's eye view of the entire surrounding area. Recommended in all seasons!

It was sweaty but enjoyable, you just have to do it. Simply amazing. Because of the melting snow, the water veins were very impressive, especially on the way back. We didn't arrive with dry feet. The way back was very adventurous, but definitely worth it.

We did the tour at around 28-30'C. A towel and swimming trunks are recommended... very nice valley to relax and hike. Perfect for kids to play in the water... 👍 Addendum: you definitely have to buy a ticket for the parking lot at the blue parking meter down in town! There are only 40 pieces per day!! If gone then no valid ticket.... it will be checked....
