Lake Cancano

Highlight • Lake

After crossing the towers of fraele, ancient and powerful buildings from the fourteenth century, we reach the artificial lakes of Cancano, created in the last century for the production of electricity and now managed by A2A, and that led to the creation of a unique, ideal environment for walking, trekking and mountain biking in the high mountain forests of Valtellina. The lakes are fed with water from the Spòl, from the torrents of Alpe, Gavia, Frodolfo, Zebrù, Braulio, Viola and Forcola and, in even from the most famous river Adda, which has its springs nearby. To reach the lakes of Cancano, simply follow the signs along the road that leads from Bormio towards Livigno, deviating near the Premadio village along a road that climbs steeply up to the Fraele pass. Along the way there are numerous dining options and picnic areas.

View of the Cancano Lakes

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lake Cancano remains slightly hidden by vegetation, an emerald green color dominates the plain once you reach the end of the paved road, but first you will find Lake Scale shortly after the Fraele towers; in my opinion much more beautiful and characteristic even if smaller, transparent water and green meadows create an exceptional contrast
