| | Val Camonica
Val Camonica is one of the largest valleys of the central Alps, in eastern Lombardy, about 90 km long. It starts from the Tonale Pass, at 1883 metres above sea level and ends at Corna Trentapassi, in the comune of Pisogne, near Iseo lake. It has an area of about 1.335 km2 and 118.323 inhabitants.
It is traversed throughout its full length from the river Oglio, which begins in Ponte di Legno and terminates in lake Sebino between Pisogne and Costa Volpino.
Valle Camonica derives its name from the Latin Vallis Camunnorum, that means "the Valley of the Camunni", the name by which the Romans called the inhabitants (today are called Camuni).
The best places for a ski holiday are: Tonale Pass, Ponte di Legno, Temú, Vermiglio, Aprica. Other places of interest are Lovere, Breno castle and the termal town Boario.
