Among the most known routes you will find the one from Alpe San Bernardo to Rifugio Gattascosa and the Tour of Paione Lakes, that will impress you with magnificient views on the italian and swiss Alps.

Curiosity: Val Bognanco is also known as “Wellness Valley”, due to the presence of a thermal center and water sources near the village of Bognanco. The sources were discovered by chance and were among the first waters autohorized for bottling and national sale.
