Geographical notes

Val Seriana, based on the orography of the territory, can be divided into three areas. The first, further north, has Alpine characters; the intermediate area is characterized by extensive plateaus; the final part is distinguished by the presence of a large territory limited by soft sides.

Among the most characteristic components of the natural landscape are the naturalistic and faunistic areas such as the chain of the Orobie Alps, the pizzo della Presolana (natural border between the Val Seriana and the Scalve Valley), the Pizzo Formico that dominates the town of Clusone and the Val Vertova.
