Val Genova - The Way of the Valleys

<p>A suggestive, moderately challenging hike among waterfalls and impressive watercourses, welcoming shelters, and legends of devils and witches. Val Genova is a magical place full of energy.</p>

<p>Beautiful and wild, Val di Genova penetrates into the frozen heart of the Adamello, keeping ancient stories and a touch of magic.<br />Situated in the <strong>Adamello Brenta Natural Park</strong>, it separates the two giants <strong>Presanella</strong> and <strong>Adamello</strong>, winding through <strong>steep cliffs</strong> and <strong>dense forests</strong> until revealing, after 17 km, the majestic <strong>Matarot glacial amphitheater</strong>.</p> <p>This valley was the site of the first <strong>mountaineering explorations</strong> and, later, of the battles of the <strong>“White War”</strong>, whose signs are still visible today.<br />Water is its distinctive element: it flows impetuously among rocks and falls in <strong>spectacular waterfalls</strong> like those of Lares and Nardis.<br />It is said that, at the time of the Council of Trent, <strong>witches</strong> were banished here. Just legends? Perhaps. But there are those who swear that something... inexplicable happened in Val Genova.</p>
