Belviso Valley
Belviso Valley is the easternmost valley of the Orobie Valtellinesi Park and is within easy reach from Aprica. The classic suspended valley conformation does not do it justice: after the first part, where sheer slopes form what is almost a gorge, the upper part opens up onto breathtaking panoramic views. Numerous Alpine lakes (the Torena Lakes, Lake Lavazza, Cima Lake, Pisa Lake) crown the majestic artificial lake formed by the Frera dam. Rifugio Cristina is the starting point for walks of all length and difficulty. This area is popular and well-loved by fishing enthusiasts, who can fish along the Belviso stream. The wooden sculptures by the artist Andrea Fanchi, along the road leading to the Frera dam, are fascinating and much loved by children.
