These two similar and splendid valleys have a common entrance that has united them since antique times. Indeed, the heart of Val Belviso was Carona, at the centre of Val Caronella.

Val Belviso... the name makes you already guess one of the characteristics of this valley...its beauty!!
The valley is known as a “hanging” valley: this means that it has a narrow ravine while, at higher altitudes, it shows a wide plateau. Val Belviso can be reached from Aprica and it is on the western border of the Park.
The lush vegetation is very dense: there are Norway spruce, larche, birch and, higher up, alpine pastures where you find the yellow Arnica montana – wolf’s bane, the delicate Gentiana punctata – spotted gentian andTrifolium alpinum – alpine clover. These are characteristic species in the territory.
Moreover, the valley holds different and unique environments that permit a lot of different fauna to find perfect living conditions.
Surrounded by larch woods, that in autumn are painted in gold, admire two splendid lakes: the dark Lake Nero and the bright Lake Verde. Val Belviso can be recognized also for the giant Frera dam that creates the impressive artificial Lake Belviso.
The valley has always been frequented by humans and this is confirmed by singular prehistoric cup marks, found next to the Lake Nero.
