Hiking
The area of the Magnesite Quarries within the ZSC, located on the north-eastern slopes of Monte Musinè and near Moncalvo, had historical importance in the industrial sector. The extraction of magnesite, a crystalline mineral obtained by the modification of ultramafic rocks by water, took on the characteristics of an industrial activity from the mid-19th century. In more ancient times, the mineral was used for the construction of the floors of the Villa Rustica (Roman Villa) of the Pian.
