Hiking

The "Bidet della Contessa" pool, located in the Mello valley, is a natural jewel known for its crystalline waters of an intense turquoise colour. In this lake, the surrounding mountains are reflected on sunny days. Its most enchanting point is characterized by the stone monolith that forms an island in the centre. From here it is possible to admire the surprising depth and the turquoise blue color of the waters on sunny days (and the more intrepid people can dive into the freezing waters of the lake).

Hiking

The Bidet della Contessa is a charming pool of crystalline water located in the Val di Mello, a side valley of the Val Masino, in the province of Sondrio. This body of water, with emerald green tones, is framed by imposing granite boulders and lush alpine vegetation, creating an environment of rare beauty. The curious name, "Bidet della Contessa", is linked to local legends that tell of a noble lady who loved to cool off in these waters during the hot summer days.
