Parco delle Orobie Valtellinesi

If you leave from the bottom of the valley in Valtellina and enter any valley of Orobie, you will have to face a narrow and inhospitable ravine but, once you reach a higher altitude, the landscape opens in a charming and less steep tableland.
This characteristic morphology depends on the way the so-called suspended valleys formed: they derive from the action of lateral glaciers which are less imposing than the main one which dug out Valtellina.
