You cannot visit the valley without going to the Boschietto and Boschiettiera, characteristic villages in altitude dominated by the elegant pyramid of the Tower Lavina of its 3308m. The two villages are situated on the edge of an Alpine pasture, which is reached by a leisurely walk along the trail that crosses an old forest rich both in hardwood and in conifers. The departure may be both from the small village of Forzo and the nearest Molino di Forzo; going up from Tressi, instead, you can get the occasion to find a beautiful votive shrine placed in the rock.

The slightly ascendent route offers the opportunity to appreciate shrines and votive chapels drawn and painted into the rock, as well as ideas to capture the curious legendary items explained in the local french-Provençal history.

In the snow covered pastures taken to reach the Boschettiera da Boschietto chamoises and other alpine fauna are not difficult to be seen. Back from the outward path.

Not to be missed:
- characteristic architecture
