The Bondone Valley, crossed by the eponymous stream, is one of the less known valleys in the Orobie Valtellinesi Park, but hides corners of breathtaking beauty.

13km from Aprica, past Pian di Gembro, accessible by car along a paved road, Trivigno, with its small residential area, the church of S. Gaetano and Hotel Paradiso, stands at 1700m on an attractive plateau, perfect in the summer for easy walks, and with a 7.5 km path in the winter, for cross country skiing. An ideal place for regenerating moments in contact with uncontaminated nature and for unforgettable excursions amid rhododendrons, going up towards Mount Padrio, 2150m, where you can enjoy 360° views of surrounding peaks, from Bernina to Adamello.

The Caronella Valley, inside the Orobie Valtellinesi Park, offers excursion itineraries suitable for everyone, with the chance to observe breathtaking panoramic views of the mid Valtellina valley.

The 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.

The Reserve of the S. Antonio Valleys can be reached from Aprica by descending towards Edolo; at Campagnola spot head towards the small hamlet of S. Antonio. A fascinating visitor's centre and the Alpine Hydrobiology Station welcome excursionists on their way to the Brandet or Campovecchio Valleys.

Water is a characterising element of this Site of Community Importance; here streams flow into bubbling waterfalls and clear emerald streams are home to very special fish populations. The presence of the European bullhead (Cottus gobio) is especially worthy of mention.
