The Fraele towers are signal towers, built in 1391 at a height of 1,930 meters above sea level and mark the border between Valdidentro and Val San Giacomo. They are located between Mount Scale at 2,521 meters and Cima Plator at 2,910 meters.

Lake Cancano

Highlight • Lake

After crossing the towers of fraele, ancient and powerful buildings from the fourteenth century, we reach the artificial lakes of Cancano, created in the last century for the production of electricity and now managed by A2A, and that led to the creation of a unique, ideal environment for walking, trekking and mountain biking in the high mountain forests of Valtellina. The lakes are fed with water from the Spòl, from the torrents of Alpe, Gavia, Frodolfo, Zebrù, Braulio, Viola and Forcola and, in even from the most famous river Adda, which has its springs nearby. To reach the lakes of Cancano, simply follow the signs along the road that leads from Bormio towards Livigno, deviating near the Premadio village along a road that climbs steeply up to the Fraele pass. Along the way there are numerous dining options and picnic areas.

Lake San Giacomo di Fraele

Highlight • Lake

The reservoir can be cycled on both sides; a short detour to the dam wall is worth it.
