Side Valleys

side valley of the Fuciade in summer

The side valleys are little-known gems in the mountains, magical places that they were once simple grazing lands and today they reveal themselves as unmissable tourist destinations. They deliver breathtaking landscapes and they are the perfect refuge for those seeking peace away from the large crowded valleys.

Authentic mountain

These small valleys have experienced a surprising transformation, gradually becoming tourist pearls thanks to their authenticity and preservation of traditions.

No longer just haymaking areas, today they are places where you can rediscover the flavor of genuine products, those authentic flavors of foods made as they once were mountain huts still active here. Imagine walking along paths immersed in nature, encountering a here and there old barn or a Mountain cabin which seems made especially for a postcard.

Uncontaminated valleys

The side valleys are also special because far from large population centers, have maintained an almost intact natural environment. Here nature reigns supreme, far from the large buildings that alter the landscape.

I am a place where time seems to have stopped and where you can breathe the true essence of the mountain.

Tourism in these areas has grown sustainably with decisions such as closing to car traffic significantly improving the experience of those who visit.
