Mt. Bego and Valcamonica are the two most important alpine rock art sites.
Regarding the quantity and the quality of engraved rocks we can't find any equal in the other alpine valleys.
In Valcamonica (regarding chronology see Dating and updating Valcamonica rock art) some 200-300.000 engraved figures are estimated to exist, while in Mt. Bego 35.000 engravings were traced (and counted). Engraved rocks are diffused in many other Alpine valleys: Rock Art in the Alps will provide step by step an archaeological online documentation.
