Cepina, a hamlet in the Municipality of Valdisotto, is located just a few
Km from Bormio in the Alta Valle dell'Adda (the Upper Adda Valley). It is here that a spring of exceptionally high quality water has been found, with the water particularly low in oligo-metallic content. Its name, "Levissima" derives from levis (light). In the parish church of
Cepina, built in the thirteen-hundreds but restructured in the fifteen-hundreds, there is a gilded wooden ancona by a German artist of the XVIth century which is worthy of note.
Next to the parish church, there is a ossuary from the seventeen-hundreds with a splendid gateway in wrought iron made between 1726 and 1727 by Giuseppe Pini. Inside the ossuary, there are frescoes by Alessandro Valdani. From
Cepina, it is possible to reach the Campaccio valley by passing through the hamlets of Santa Maria Maddalena and the built up areas of Tiola and Monte, from where one continues on to the Alpe Campaccio and the lake of the same name. Worth mentioning is the large mineral water works at Piazza.
At
Cepina, there is tourist accommodation available in hotels, residence self-catering accommodation, holiday homes and camp sites.
