On her initiative, the municipality purchased a dilapidated building in 2016 as part of a sustainable development project. The Valli Resilienti cycling and hiking trails that you see in this area are also part of the project. The building was completely renovated in a sustainable manner with the help of the School of Architecture. Management has been taken over by five young farmers from the area.

In the workshops, artisans are busy all year round crafting handmade costumes.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bagolino is located at the junction of the Val Trompia and the Valle Sabbia. It was an important trading hub. In the Middle Ages, iron from the Val Trompia was traded for cheese from Bagolino. Later, Bagolino became an important trading town under the Republic of Venice. A massive fire destroyed most of the wooden houses in Bagolino. The imposing church was spared by the fire. The church contains no works by local painters, but rather pieces from the studios of Venetian masters such as Titian and Tintoretto.        <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bagolino is also known for its famous <strong>Bagoss cheese<\/strong>, enriched with saffron, which gives it its characteristic golden-yellow color. The Doge of Venice came up with the idea of adding saffron to the cheese, making it exclusive (saffron is still more expensive than gold) and giving it a golden-yellow color. And so, a cheese from a remote mountain town, made with a highly exclusive, exotic ingredient, came to be sold as far away as the Middle East.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-eight small local farms produce this cheese\u2014sought after all over the world\u2014using traditional methods. The name refers to the \u201cBagossi\u201d people and is considered the symbol of Bagolino.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bagolino is definitely worth a visit for lovers of culture and fine dining.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"23338\" src=\"https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Atelier-carnaval-kostuums-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bagolino - Carnival Costume Workshop\" class=\"wp-image-23338\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"23343\" src=\"https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bagolino1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bagolino - Church and Flowers\" class=\"wp-image-23343\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"23345\" src=\"https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bagoss-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bagoss - cheesemaker\" class=\"wp-image-23345\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parco delle Fucine in Casto  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a combination of nature, sports, and history, head to the \u201cParco delle Fucine\u201d adventure park in Casto.

It is a beautiful, green, and hilly park with 200 km of hiking and biking trails. For adventurers and climbers, there are climbing routes, suspension bridges, climbing walls, and zip lines. These span lakes and ravines. There are two zip lines that reach speeds of up to 80 km per hour.      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also hiking trails (marked in different colors) for hikers. You can take a 2.5-km hike past small waterfalls, caves, and bridges. Experienced hikers can opt for a 9-km hike, which takes about 6 hours.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are child-friendly areas, small lakes where you can wade, along with picnic areas and campsites.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2006, there was absolutely nothing to be seen in this area.
