Lake Antrona formed itself on July the 27th 1642 after a landslide that, making a natural dam, gave birth to the lake. The landslide blocked Troncone creek, destroying the old village of Antrona.

Walking along the lakeside in a ring, the majestic waterfall of Sanjont river can be seen. A sequence of ladders and gangways leads behind the waterfall (the water often makes the metallic gangway slippery!).

A trail among the woods leads to lake Campliccioli’s dam, an artificial basin built in 1928, proceeds alongside the lake and the Banella waterfall, goes on to Vassoncino alp, Granariol alp and until the bridge that crosses Troncone creek. It then proceeds alongside the old “Decauville” type rail tracks, a system of prefabricated rails, shorter than the standard, with miniature wagons pulled by hand or with animals, built to carry the materials needed to erect the dam.
