The municipality of Bresimo north-west of the Val di Non is characterised by meadows, fields, fir trees, larches and pines which, along with the Barnes stream flowing through the village, paint the landscape with countless shades of colours.
The most remarkable monument of the Valle di Bresimo is undoubtedly Castello di Altaguardia. This 13th century fortress was built on a pre-existing tower on the slopes of Monte Pin and served as a watchtower. The castle was inhabited until 1639 when it was destroyed by a fire. It was then restored and can now be admired in all its beauty. The unusual but interesting Maso Castelbasso, a former part of the Altaguardia complex, was restored by the municipality and is now the seat of a visitor's centre which offers educational activities on the environment.
The Santuario della Madonna di Bresimo in Baselga is another attraction you shouldn't miss. This very ancient church was rebuilt first in Gothic and later in Renaissance style and houses remarkable artworks, including wooden altars and a fresco cycle from the 16th century. This sacral monument also figures among Italy's National Monuments.
