Storo with its stunning historic centre characterised by alleys and squares vouching for its ancient subdivision into districts lies only a few kilometres north of Lake Idro. Despite being small you can admire eight granite fountains dating back to approximately the mid-19th century.
Storo is mainly known for the production of the so-called "Oro di Storo" (gold of Storo), a very peculiar and well-recognisable yellow flour which is used for the production of the typical mountain "polenta". The recipe respects its natural process which is essential to preserve its nutrients and typical scent. The annually held gastronomical festival "Festival della polenta di Storo" is dedicated to this particular type of flour. On this occasion you can taste several dishes based on polenta.
Adventure seekers can undertake various hikes on the numerous itineraries leading to the malghe and their surroundings, practise canyoning or visit the wonderful waterfalls of the area, including cascata Fontana Bianca, cascata del Palvico, cascata d'Ampola and cascata di Fontana Santa.
