Terracing Linescio
Non è per niente esagerato pensare ad un'opera ciclopica ammirando gli oltre 25 km di muri a secco (circa 27'000 m² di pietre accatastate) che creano un paesaggio terrazzato monumentale e unico attorno a questo piccolo villaggio all'entrata della Val Rovana.

Case signorili
Splendidi edifici conservati nel tempo caratterizzano un villaggio che fu a lungo il centro civile e religioso della comunità di Lavizzara. Il palazzo della Giudicatura con le prigioni e la berlina spicca tra un esiguo gruppo di case raccolte attorno all'alto campanile di Sornico.

Nucleo abbandonato "Prèsa"
È raro potersi immergere in un paesaggio caratterizzato da tracce di storia antica, completamente privo di segni di modernità. Lo splendido nucleo della Presa offre agli occhi e al cuore di chi lo visita la possibilità di un vero tuffo nel passato.
