We had an amazing tour from park guide/ geologist Dr. Donnatella Reggiori. She showed us two paths: one starts from the Mulino del Ghitello to the Mulin del Canaa and the second one form the Mulin del Canaa to Ghitello. The geological contents of the Breggia Gorge makes the park one of the most important geo-topes in Switzerland. Along the river you can see the geology profile that is continuous between the Jurassic and the Tertiary periods. If you look closely, you can see evidence of the ancient seas in the rocks of the Gorge: layers extremely rich in fossils, remains of underwater landslides, witness to climatic changes in eras long before man appeared on Earth, and proof of volcanic eruptions. Dr. Reggiori will give you a full lesson in Geology on the tour. Make sure your kids take notes, they may be able to get extra credit in school :)

Named after Francesco Melzi d'Eril who built the mansion on the grounds in the early 1800s, the gardens feature countless species of plant life. Some of the trees are towering above you reminding visitors just how old they are and their rich history! The entrance pathway runs right along the lake in the most picturesque setting. This is certainly the best point of interest in Bellagio!

A short walk from the downtown area, for an 8eu entry, the garden stroll was well worth it…read more Every plant is marked or can be located on the map so it's easy to know the name of each plant by which you walk. There are many winding paths so it's not hard to find a bench to sit and rest and enjoy the views without feeling like you are in a crowd. Do go into the building with the 'antiques'. There are some beautiful statues and pottery that are quite old. Very interesting. There are lots of opportunities to take pics of beautiful plants or use the plants as a front drop to views of the lake. I enjoyed this stroll very much.
