Our half-day tour begins to discover the secrets of the Cold Valley, so called because the temperature here is much lower than the outside, due to the travertine rock walls. Here it is possible to take various paths to explore the caves or along the heights, obviously with the right equipment. The next stop in Valganna is the Chapel of San Gemolo. The story of the Saint tells that in the eleventh century, while escorting a bishop, his uncle, to Milan, he was attacked by brigands and, in an attempt to recover the stolen goods, he was killed right where the chapel now stands, where one of his is depicted. lovely mosaic. We continue towards the Lake and the Torbiera di Ganna to enjoy a breathtaking view. The fourth stop is the Badia di San Gemolo, a quiet and peaceful place that can also be visited in the internal courtyard. The fifth and last stop is Lake Ghirla, frozen in its lowest part in winter. Here, too, an enchanting landscape, with mountains overlooking the lake.
