Orrido di Bellano is a natural gorge created 15 million years ago by the erosion of the River Pioverna and the Adda glacier which, over the centuries, have shaped the rock into gigantic potholes, dark ravines and suggestive caves. The narrow canyon can be visited thanks to a system of footbridges anchored on the high walls overlooking the water, perfectly illuminated in the evening where the charm of the place takes on different nuances, and that recently have been extended to reach the large waterfall located further upstream.

Orrido di Bellano
The narrow spaces, the particular play of light reflected on the rocky walls and on the water, the vegetation that recalls more tropical environments and the noise of the waterfalls crashing on the stone have always inspired many writers who have told of its beauty or have created legends.
Orrido Magic Christmas Lights
“The way of water”
From 6 December 2025 to 20 March 2026, the Orrido di Bellano will be transformed into a fascinating underwater kingdom suspended between reality and wonder. An invitation to let yourself be guided by the call of the water and experience a Christmas where nature takes centre stage!
Ca' del Diavol
Entering “Orrido di Bellano” it is possible to see a three-storey tower, with a pentagonal plan, overlooking the Pioverna stream known as the “Ca’ del Diavol”, the dialectal Italian name of “House of the Devil”: the murals on the highest area of the museum show indeed zodiac signs and mythological deities. Moreover, some myths represent it as the location of many satanic rituals, orgiastic parties, and meetings
Ca’ del Diavol has just been refurbished and its three levels, also with the help of some multimedia exhibit, are meant to lead the visitor through the history of Bellano’s origins.
