Val Viola, a journey of great scenic beauty, is a drive at the location Arnoga: the entrance is located along the national road No 301 that connects Bormio to Livigno.
From here begins the valley is dominated by mountains that are part of the Cima Piazzi and the Horns of the field: in fact stand out on it, in a pristine natural environment, Cima Piazzi (3,439 m), Cima Viola (3374 meters ) and dosdata Peak (3,280 meters).
The whole valley is in fact embedded in a series of peaks, all over three thousand meters, which create a natural setting that offers breathtaking views making it really interesting especially from the point of view of landscape.
In all probability the Purple Valley takes its name from a mistake of the cartographers who, in the nineteenth century, exchanged the name "Albiol (derived from the Latin word albus = white) with" Purple "that remained. The slopes of Bormio
Val Viola after about 11 km, with the same name which allows the pitch to dominate the landscape of the Val Viola Poschiavina, in Switzerland.
flow into it numerous other valleys that allow an infinite number of possible excursions: in addition to the aforementioned Passo di Val Viola takes you to the Val Viola Poschiavina (Val di Campo), along the way are also the paths that lead to the step Vallaccia of which connects to the Valley of Foscagno, the step of draining into the Val d'dosdata Aveda and pace of Verve that leads into the valley of the same name connected with Val Grosina.

The vegetation of the Val Viola is characteristic of high altitude mountain environments: the flora is composed of colorful rhododendrons and scented gentian, anemones and many alpine flowers. Regarding
fauna, in addition to the ungulates, the area is massively populated by marmots, whose ringing sound echoing throughout the valley.
The morphology of the Val Viola, oriented to the southwest, is typical of the alpine valleys covered by glacial erosion: it is shaped by large shelves of alternating small jumps higher placing again in very large basins. The origin of the valley, due to the slow and relentless work of the great glaciers that once were, is also demonstrated by the layers that are located on its ridges and the shape and form of rocks found there.
beginning of the valley, to the height where it flows into the Valley Verve originates from the namesake creek that completely crosses the Valdidentro then take nell'Adda.
