Collegiate Church of St. Lawrence

Highlight • Religious Site

In 1172 one speaks for the first time of a bell tower in front of the left aisle. It was rebuilt between 1597 and 1603. For me the landmark of this beautiful complex.

Crotto Belvedere

Highlight • Restaurant

A typical Italian restaurant with homemade products. The cheese selection and the ham and sausage platter were delicious. Other dishes like pasta and polenta with mushrooms also looked delicious. Highly recommended.

Valchiavenna Cycle Path Near Marmitte dei Giganti Nature Reserve

Highlight • Cycleway

Here the cycle path passes near the natural reserve of the "giants' pots", geological formations characterized by pools or circular cavities present in the river beds or rocky masses. These round pits are often created by the erosive action of water and sediment traveling at high speeds. The phenomenon occurs when debris such as pebbles or stones are dragged by the current and, circling, burrow into the rocky riverbed over time. These formations are called "giant kettles" because of their resemblance to giant pots carved into the rock. They are often observable in areas with rivers or streams characterized by strong currents.

Valchiavenna Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Valchiavenna cycle path is a fascinating 40 km route that goes from Colico to the Swiss border (Val Bregaglia), passing through suggestive places such as Chiavenna, Piuro with its archaeological excavations, the Acquafraggia waterfalls and the Palazzo Vertemate Franchi. The route reflects the fusion of two cultures, offering a Central European atmosphere. In 2022, the Valchiavenna Cycle Path won 3rd prize at the Italian Green Road Awards.
