This short route leads to the discovery of picturesque corners of the Antigorio Valley, where nature, history and man’s age-old work intertwine. Just before Baceno, the historic road to the Arbola Pass (H00) begins, which has allowed intense trade between the Devero Valley and the Binn Valley over the centuries. To facilitate the passage of beasts of burden, a mule track was carved into the rock: a path that now offers extremely impressive views, thanks to the work of rivers and streams giving rise to spectacular gorges and potholes, with Croveo being particularly famous for such features. The small centre of the Antigorio Valley is sadly famous also for the numerous cases of witch trials, today evoked through a very heartfelt and well-attended event. Croveo still has 12th-century houses in its historic centre (period of colonisation of the Walser populations), an ancient press and important evidence of 16th-century rural architecture.
