A creek cuts like a bright thread through the chestnut forests of Valle Argentina, and on a clear morning the water dares you to read its current. Anglers step from rock to riffle beneath steep ridgelines, rods bent to the rhythm of native brown trout. The valley smells of damp stone and toasted bread from nearby village ovens, and the guide points to a distant ridge where snowmelt feeds the stream.
