Capo di Ponte

The flagship site and best introduction to Val Camonica’s rock art. Well-marked walking paths wind through woodland past dozens of engraved rock panels. Look for iconic scenes of warriors with shields, hunting sequences, and animals. Interpretation panels help decode the imagery.

Two enormous carved boulders, among the earliest discovered in the valley. These monumental stones suggest ritual or ceremonial importance and provide insight into the oldest phases of engraving activity.

More rugged and less crowded, this park rewards those willing to hike. The highlight is the famous “Bedolina Map”, an intricate composition believed to represent fields, paths, and settlements—possibly one of the oldest topographic maps in the world.

A compact but excellent museum in Capo di Ponte that provides context before or after visiting the sites. Displays include casts of engravings, artefacts, and explanations of carving techniques and chronology.
