Important vacation center, S. Fedele Intelvi dominates the whole valley thanks
to its position over a saddle that is a watershed between the two parts of the
valley, ending up in the Lario and Ceresio. The village consists of S. Fedele
Inferiore, that is the residential area, and S. Fedele Superiore, that is the
ancient borgo. Here Andrea Brenta lived , the hero of the Intelvese Renaissance
who was then shot by the Austrians in Como.

season, on the Alpe Grande, it is possible practice winter sports.
