Val Caronella

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.

To reach Val Caronella it is necessary to pass from San Giacomo, Teglio and, as Belviso and Bondone, this valley is initially narrow but, higher up, it opens brightly. It is dominated by the majestic Torena Mountain, that touches three thousand metres. Next to this mountain you can admire the imposing Gavazza Peak (2410 m), Fraitina (2567 m) and Caronella (2796 m).
The valley offers trekking itineraries suitable for everyone and fascinating panoramic views.
In these fantastic places deer, chamois and roe deer live quietly.
The ancient, little village of Carona is inhabited only in the summer months and is home to the small,
15th century Saint Omobono’s church.
