Pian di Spagna and Lake Mezzola Nature Reserve
A cradle for biodiversity in Valtellina

Go to route directions

In the northernmost part of Lombardia, in a small plain nestled among reed beds, woods, and grazing lands, lies a heritage to be protected: a unique ecosystem inhabited by a rich variety of flora and fauna, and by over 200 species of birds, both migratory and resident, who find shelter here due to the travellers.

In this oasis suitable for resting and nesting, feathered travellers gather and feed under the admiring gaze of ornithologists and birdwatching enthusiasts. The reserve, thanks to its natural characteristics, represents a heritage of beauty capable of enchanting with its lakes, rivers, peaks and cultivated fields.

Awaken your senses

Catch the smells of the vegetation, the damp earth, and the hay being dried to provide nourishment to the animals in winter. Close your eyes and feel the breath of the mild Breva, which rises from Lake Como and meets the fresh air that descends from the Alps.

Listen to the lively chatter of birds. Who knows what they say to each other with their singing, perhaps it is a love call, perhaps an argument, perhaps the story of an exploit that took place who knows where, on one of the many journeys beyond our seas.

Sharpen your gaze; there are ducks, cormorants, and swans right here around you. There is also the kingfisher, the heron, the chaffinch, the blackcap. Do you recognize them? Are you looking for them or did they find you?

Let yourself be conquered by the unique and unrepeatable flavour of Bresaola della Valtellina PGI, which preserves the breath of the mountains and the wisdom of generations of taste artisans.
