Orrido di Vertova, Val Seriana
Lombardy
The Vertova stream has carved a shaded ravine of smooth grey rock, plunge pools and cascades just behind the village. A well-made path with bridges follows it upstream past the most photogenic pools — popular for a summer paddle — to the Bocchetta di Colle and the Orobie foothills beyond.
