say moledana

The Bidet della Contessa is a charming pool of crystalline water located in the Val di Mello, a side valley of the Val Masino, in the province of Sondrio. This body of water, with emerald green tones, is framed by imposing granite boulders and lush alpine vegetation, creating an environment of rare beauty. The curious name, "Bidet della Contessa", is linked to local legends that tell of a noble lady who loved to cool off in these waters during the hot summer days. To reach the Bidet della Contessa, start from the village of San Martino, following a flat and well-marked path that crosses woods and meadows, along the Mello stream. After about 30 minutes of walking, you arrive at this enchanting pool, ideal for a regenerating break immersed in nature. The Val di Mello, known as the "little Italian Yosemite", is a nature reserve that offers numerous hiking trails suitable for all levels, with breathtaking views of waterfalls, streams and unique rock formations. The Bidet della Contessa represents one of the most fascinating stops in this valley, attracting hikers, families and photography enthusiasts for its fairy-tale atmosphere and the purity of its waters.

Just being here and admiring the landscape is worth the trip and the effort...

I've been there and the colors reflected in the lake were fantastic. To reach it, an ultra-easy flat walk.

The "Bidet della Contessa" pool, located in the Mello valley, is a natural jewel known for its crystalline waters of an intense turquoise colour. In this lake, the surrounding mountains are reflected on sunny days. Its most enchanting point is characterized by the stone monolith that forms an island in the centre. From here it is possible to admire the surprising depth and the turquoise blue color of the waters on sunny days (and the more intrepid people can dive into the freezing waters of the lake).

This small lake creates a wonderful foreground for the granite peaks in the background. Fantastic sight.

Amazing uphill in a very well maintained tarmac cycling path in a magical place.
