Subjects : Any subject that concerns alpine fauna, from birds to large mammals. The Daone Valley consists of a long furrow, which starts from the Adamello Glaciers and continues to reach the valley floor. This valley is the main southern access to the Adamello granite group and walking along it you can admire the natural beauty of waterfalls and paths, but also characteristic villages and typical barns with original architecture. The Daone valley winds its way from the town of Daone, passing through the artificial lakes of Boazzo (1224 m.) and Bissina (1790 m.) with the dam over 80 meters high by 560 meters wide, which contains 60 million cubic meters of water and whose construction enterprise is narrated among the great works in a documentary signed by Ermanno Olmi. which torrents descend that in the winter season turn into frozen waterfalls, frequented by those who practice ice climbing, and whose imposing boulders are the realm of those who practice bouldering activities. A valley that has witnessed a centuries-old alpine pasture activity, it also has a varied vegetation and is home to many wild animals, in particular ungulates such as deer and roe deer, making it suitable for walks for the relaxation of the whole family. In the upper part, upstream of the large artificial lake of Malga Bissina, it is known as Val di Fumo. A short distance from Daone, in Bersone, a museum on the White War in Adamello is also worth a visit.

Recommended equipment : Zoom above 300 for wildlife, Wide angle for the rest plus tripod (or stick)

Best months : Spring Summer Autumn Winter

How to get there : Starting from Trento, follow the signs for Tione and from here those for Valle di Daone. From the south, the alternative is to go up to the Ledro Valley from Riva del Garda, continue to Storo and then towards the Daone Valley. Or from Brescia walk along Lake Idro and then towards Valle del Chiese and Daone.Once you reach Daone, continue for half an hour to the Diga Bissina car park in the Adamello Brenta Natural Park, at 2175 m

Visits : We recommend that you plan your trip well and find out about parking. The area is in fact subject to reduced mobility constraints. The parking lots closest to the dam run out very quickly, then you are diverted to the more distant ones, from which a free shuttle departs. It's best to book in advance to avoid having to turn back. It is even better to use the shuttle and leave your car at the hotel or in another "quieter" area (details at the bottom of the article)
