D'Intelvi Valley
 D'Intelvi Valley is approximately twelve kilometers long and it is away Como of approximately 20 kilometers to the north, between the lake Como (Lario) and the lake of Lugano (Ceresio) and it is cut through by the river Telo. It is a sunny and pleasant valley, open to the mountains, characterized by green pastures and morenic slopes.
Furthermore, the two lakes make the climate mild and enough damp, so the luxuriant vegetation make the colour green the most important characteristic of the area.
The landscape can be considered one of the most beautiful among the Lombardy.
This valley has holiday localities and old villages, that can be reached in three different ways: from Argegno on the Lake Como, from Osteno on the lake of Lugano and from Lanzo through the Val Mara.
Curiosity
The d'Intelvi valley is near the border between Italy and the Helvetic Confederation and the smuggling has always been practised here by the local population.
The Italian word - contrabbando - derives from contrabbandum, that, in medieval Latin, indicates what goes against the laws, against bans.
The goods to smuggle were crammed cloth bags called -bricole-, and carried along mountain paths by men called -spalloni- .
