Along its course, the torrent feeds several lakes, such as the Laghetto del Qualido, and also feeds numerous waterfalls and pools, which make the valley even more fascinating and appreciated by hikers.The path of the Torrente Mello is clearly visible along the paths that start from the village of San Martino, which is the main starting point for exploring the valley. The path that follows the course of the torrent allows you to enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding nature and access places of great naturalistic interest, making it an ideal destination for lovers of trekking and photography.
