Bellano gorge

Gorge Bellano, Lombardy, Italy

What to expect

The Orrido di Bellano is a natural wonder, a deep gorge carved by the Pioverna River over 15 million years. The gorge is narrow and deep, with steep rock walls and a powerful waterfall. Visitors can walk through the gorge on a paved path and admire the stunning scenery. The area has a rich industrial history, with evidence of old forges, mills, and spinning mills. The 'Ca' del Diavolo' tower, also known as the 'House of the Devil', is located at the entrance of the gorge and features figures from mythology. The gorge is a great place to visit with family, with a safe and suitable path for children. Large ferns thrive in the gorge, and the stairs leading to the waterfall offer a fantastic view over Lake Como
