Where to go on a rainy day in Ponte di Legno or the Tonale Pass
Culture in Pontedilegno-Tonale: a rainy day exploring museums and castles
Ponte di Legno and the Tonale Pass offer a wide range of opportunities for a day exploring culture, art and history when it is raining (or not).
Rock carvings in Capo di Ponte
Rock carvings in Capo di Ponte Valle Camonica is famous for its countless rock carvings dating back to over 13,000 years ago, perfectly preserved and recognised as World Heritage sites. Visitors can stroll through 8 parks and examine numerous fascinating figures carved into the rocks: deer, hunters, carts and magic symbols. When it rains, the carvings are more visible and can therefore be appreciated more.
The Castle of San Michele in Ossana
The Castle of San Michele in Ossana From much more recent times, the Castle of San Michele, in the vicinity of Vermiglio, is undoubtedly worth a visit when the weather is bad: probably built by the Lombards in a strategic position on a spur of rock, the castle oversaw the events in the valley from its keep, at a height of around 25 metres from the ground.
Museums dedicated to the White War in Temù and Vermiglio
Museums dedicated to the White War in Temù and Vermiglio Pontedilegno-Tonale is rich in evidence of the White War, which was fought in the snow on our mountains between 1915 and 1918. One activity we recommend for a rainy day is a visit to the Adamello White War museum in Temù, and to the White War museum in Vermiglio. Both offer moving accounts and artefacts such as uniforms, weapons, photographs and everyday objects used by the young soldiers. Another interesting place to visit on a grey day is Fort Strino, an Austro-Hungarian fort that is now home to a permanent exhibition on the White War.
Little treasures of sacred art in Temù and Ponte di Legno
On a rainy day, one interesting activity is exploring the frescoes and wooden artworks held in the ancient places of worship such as the Church of SS Trinità in Ponte di Legno. We also recommend a visit to the Chapel of the Dead in Zoanno, the Church of Sant’Apollonio in the vicinity of Plampezzo in Pezzo and the Parish Church of S. Martino Vescovo in Temù.
The hydroelectric plant in Edolo
The hydroelectric plant in Edolo is open for visits. Here, walking along a 700-metre tunnel carved into the rock, adults and children are shown the importance of water as a renewable energy source.
