When entering the Valley, you embrace a wonderfully wild nature of forests, plateaus, mountains and streams as well as an atmosphere of unparalleled purity! It boasts panoramas where forests and scenic landscapes coexist in harmony. The influence of the mountains and even the orientation of the valley create its exceptional microclimate. Hence, it differs from the coastal regions. While traveling through it, you will certainly notice its potential for agroforestry and be charmed by its small villages.

A witness of its history, the rich heritage of the Valley will show you magnificent churches, ancestral homes, historical sites and "Town-type" covered bridges. You can also visit it by following one of its many hiking, bicycle or ATV trails, or even by engaging in some agricultural tourism.
