Lake of the Casera

Emerald waters in the Valle del Livrio

 

Located within the province of Sondrio, Valle del Livrio has become a hotspot—and rightly so. Easily one of the most characteristic, it’s a rural heaven that buzzes with clusters of ancient, crumbling old houses set amongst deep forests, which are traversable on ancient mule tracks positioned under important mountain peaks with a stunning, wild backdrop.  

Pizzo Meriggio is a must for ski mountaineering in winter, while come summer, the shimmering waters of Lago della Casera and the smaller Laghetti delle Zocche are the biggest draw for hikers.
