Up to the early 900 Lake Mezzola has been a long awaited goal from travelers who laboriously climbed the winding road of the lake. It was the last stop before taking a trip even more difficult than in the mountains of Valtellina or Valchiavenna. Then the transport became relatively more quickly. Trains, especially, perhaps still steaming cloud of black coal, but at least safer than cars (for the lucky ones) and less fatigue of walking (the majority).
Nevertheless Mezzola Lake, nestled between the walls and buttresses of Berlinghera Manduino Sasso, has maintained the atmosphere of an oasis. A place where you get it easy, but since it is equally difficult. Why is it difficult to break away from such a beautiful place, this landscape sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter, from that temple of granite, San Fedelino, which, with its archaic forms and harmonious is reflected in the waters of the basin from time immemorial.
Perhaps the best season to visit the oasis of Lake Mezzola, a bit 'in contrast with the other lakes, it is the autumn or winter. When the frost seems to be fixed, as in a painting, vegetation. When the sky is so clear that the mountains appear to be fake. When silence allows you to listen to distant birds. That sometimes are not that far away. Because this strip of swamp, with its crystal clear waters now Brunos hours, is a center of natural interest to the international reputation point that, since 1971, is included in the Ramsar Convention. The reason? You do not need much explanation. At the intersection of Valtellina and Valchiavenna Adda and formed by alluvial sediments that were deposited over millennia in the north-east of the lake, the Plan of Spain, along with Lake Mezzola, has always been one of the important wetlands in the foothills of the Alps of Lombardy, particularly from the point of view of birds.
