The spectacular gorge of the Molassa torrent is part of the Forra del Cellina Nature Reserve (which can also be visited with the Valcellina Train): it can be admired between Andreis and Barcis. The old road that at the beginning of the 20th century brought the valley out of its isolation used to pass through it. Before, the only access was the mule track to the Croce pass, located between Mount Jouf and Mount Fara, and the first inhabited centre you came across was Bosplans. With the creation of the carriageway, Andreis remained on the fringes, no longer a place of obligatory passage.

The old Valcellina road
Until 1906, the Valcellina, with the municipalities of Andreis, Barcis, Claut, Cimolais and Erto, which in the 19th century had a total of ten thousand inhabitants, remained isolated due to the absence of roads.
