コルヴェルデの滝・トップ7

Pedestrian bridge built in 2002

Along the route of the old Tramway you come across the "Bottini Bridge", from which you can admire the view of a deep ravine dug by the Cosia stream which forms the so-called "bottini waterfall". The bridge was inaugurated on June 9, 2002. At this same point in 1955 the bridge that joined the hamlets of Camnago and Solzago, allowing the river to be crossed, collapsed due to intense rain. A landslide came off the mountain and ended up in the Cosia stream. An enormous mass of water came out of the banks of the stream, hit the valley and swept away some houses. This tragedy is remembered as "The little Vajont of Tavernerio".

Fantastic landscape, very well maintained paths 💯. What can I say, try 👍🥾🚶

The gorges of the Gaggiolo Torrent cut the upper part of the Meride Limestone called Kalkschieferzone, composed of finely stratified limestones and marl, forming a spectacular waterfall

The panoramic terrace of Val Mara is immersed in the woods, just above the Gaggiolo stream, in one of the most evocative panoramic points of Monte San Giorgio.

The gorges of the Gaggiolo Torrent cut the upper part of the Meride Limestone called Kalkschieferzone, composed of finely stratified limestones and marl. Here, in numerous excavation campaigns starting in 1936, the World Heritage site's most recent vertebrate fossils were discovered. The panoramic terrace of Val Mara offers a glimpse of marine deposits and fossils dating back to the Middle Triassic, 239 million years ago. The contents, offered in Italian, German and English, include educational panels, binoculars, casts and models of fossils, stone walls and reconstructions of the Middle Triassic environment, when Val Mara was a subtropical marine basin.

Wonderful natural park created by the flowing waters of the Breggia river.

A former abandoned cement factory that has become a protected area.
