indescrivibile... così bello!
wonderful to discover this place so remote in a valley so full of history: rich, poor and exciting: a human ecosystem. All of it nestled in a very varied and dramatic nature.

Big 🌳 trees that allow playing, resting and contemplating the beautiful lake on a shady beach. In the evening you might be lucky enough to experience some very good live music - check “apero in zibrett @ bapu” on insta. If you want to be active there are SUPs for rent.
The restaurant offers some pinsa and salads - a good way to end a beautiful day!
