From Borgo Pianello in a few minutes you are walking to the river Dardagna, a beautiful mountain stream which by the peaks of Corno alle Scale runs down along the valley with towering waterfalls. You can fish for trout and sports in the summer months. The temperature can make a nice swim in its crystal clear waters.

Le Terme di Porretta

Spa water is unalterable, as natural as nature intended and can only be used in the form provided by nature in those evocative places known as spas. The spa waters of Porretta Terme are 2000 years old. Legend has it that the curative properties of its waters were discovered thanks to a sick ox. The ox, too weak to pull a plough, was released by its owner and during its wanderings drank at the spa spring where it found renewed vigor.
