Val Piora is one of the most spectacular valleys in all of Ticino, famous for its rich biodiversity and its numerous lakes. For over 200 years tourists and scientists have visited and studied the valley, unique in its kind, taking advantage of this exceptional environment.
At the heart of this ecosystem are organisms that play a key role but are mostly unknown because they are invisible to the human eye: these silent protagonists are microorganisms.
The educational route can be done in any direction and order you wish. With a total length of about 4 km, it consists of a circular path where the central information point is located at the Alpine Biology Center (research laboratories). Along the path, small indicator stakes mark observation areas where microorganisms (or the effects they produce on the environment) are visible.
Each stake refers to a specific chapter of the booklet.
