However, the landscape is different from the past: the abundant precipitations of these areas have favored the construction of many artificial basins, that partially modified the original conformation of the Valley.<\/p>\nIn the western part of the Valtellina side of the Orobie Alps, a bit more to the east of the Val Lesina, extends the wonderful Val Gerola, surrounded by very steep slopes, rich in charm.<\/p>\n
Val Gerola is characterized by everything the Nature has the best to offer.<\/p>\n
Its lands are packed with ridges, screeches, moraines, glacial circuses, Alpine lakes and Alpine pastures.<\/p>\n
However, the landscape is different from the past: the abundant precipitations of these areas have favored the construction of many artificial basins, that partially modified the original conformation of the Valley.<\/p>\n
Formed from the erosive action of the waters, the Val Gerola is crossed by the Bitto torrent and divides into several other valleys, all worth visiting: Val Bomino, Valle di Pescegallo, Valle della Pietra, Val Vedrano and Val di Pai.<\/p>\n
As for the main peaks surrounding the Val Gerola, it is worth dwelling on Pizzo della Nebbia, on Denti della Vecchia, on Monte Rotondo and on Cima della Rosetta.<\/p>\n

Above all, the ability to host a long series of different environments in a quite limited space.<\/p>\n
This is because in this area you quickly pass from 200 meters above sea level to 2000, ideal condition for the formation of a very morphologically articulated territory.<\/p>\n
This is why it is not surprising the rapid passage from the forests of broadleaves to the coniferous ones, up to the vast Alpine meadows.<\/p>\n
Clearly, with so different landscapes but definitely in harmony with each other, also the local fauna offers a no mean feat spectacle: it is not uncommon to meet roe deers, deers, steinbocks and chamoises, and sometimes even in the golden eagle.<\/p>\n
Especially in Pescegallo, where there is a winter sports resort with two ski lifts for the practice of Alpine skiing.<\/p>\n
There are also two skiing schools: the “Scuola Italiana Sci – Pescegallo” and the “Enjoyski School Pescegallo” which, with their Masters, are available for individual and group lessons.<\/p>\n
Finally a look at local culinary traditions.<\/p>\n
It is in Val Gerola that one of the main Lombard ‘school’ cheeses comes to life: this is Bitto cheese, which can boast an excellent tradition due to its renowned attitude to ageing.<\/p>\n
The cheese obviously takes its name from the Bitto stream, which flows into the Adda at Morbegno’s level.<\/p>\n
