The Val Masino and its upper section the Mello Valley form a stunning granite valley ringed by spiky peaks and with a lot of great climbing and hiking. The most popular area by far is the Sasso Remenno - often touted as 'the biggest boulder in the world' - and its surrounding satellites, where there is an excellent set of well bolted sport routes on superb grippy granite. The whole area is justifiably popular.
