Val Camonica – Lombardy: rock engravings, alpine peaks and living villages between history and nature. Val Camonica extends for over 90 km, from Lake Iseo to the Tonale Pass, crossing different environments ranging from the morainic hills to the Adamello glaciers. It is one of the widest valleys in the Italian Alps, known worldwide for its heritage of rock engravings, declared the first UNESCO site in Italy in 1979. 🪨 Prehistoric art and theme parks: The valley is home to numerous archaeological parks where you can admire rock carvings dating back thousands of years. Symbols, hunting scenes and stylized figures engraved in the rock tell the life of the ancient Camunian populations. 👉 Tip: Visit the National Park of Rock Engravings of Naquane in Capo di Ponte, the most famous in the valley: a path immersed in the woods that winds through rocky outcrops and explanatory panels. ⛰️ Alpine hikes and high-altitude environments: Hundreds of paths branch off from the valley floor that climb towards glacial lakes, refuges and mountain passes. The Adamello area is among the wildest, with landscapes sculpted by ice, high-altitude blooms and a large and well-marked hiking network. 👉 Tip: Try the excursion to Lake Moro: an accessible itinerary that crosses woods and clearings to a small body of water of glacial origin, perfect for a panoramic stop. 🚴 Cycling trails and soft mobility: The Oglio River Cycle Path crosses the entire valley, connecting several locations in a safe and scenic way, from Edolo to Pisogne. Along the way there are rest areas, refreshment points and detours to villages or historical sites. 👉 Tip: Rent a bike in Boario Terme and ride a stretch of the cycle path southwards: it is flat, surrounded by greenery and also perfect for families. 🌄 Villages, spas and local flavors: Val Camonica is dotted with villages with a strong identity: Bienno, Monte Isola, Ossimo, Temù and Ponte di Legno are just some of the centers where you can breathe an authentic alpine culture.
