Parco delle Gole della Breggia

Visit the Parco delle Gole della Breggia and travel back in time through rocks rich
with fossils and some 200 million years old.

Or why not make your way to the Parco del Penz, location of Switzerland’s southern-most point? A whole network of beautiful paths fans out from there.


The Parco della Valle della Motta is a place where nature invites you to slow down. Thanks to its mild climate, it is ideal for pleasant walks along the trails, enriched with educational panels that illustrate the environmental features of the area. Among the highlights is the Daniello Mill, a historical testimony to the relationship between humans and the land, which makes the visit even more fascinating.

Easily accessible by public transport, the Parco del Laveggio is an ideal recreational area for those who wish to walk or run in the open air. Its trail winds through areas of great natural value and numerous cultural points of interest, offering a varied and stimulating experience.
