Tips
The stop is obligatory in the small medieval village of Votigno, hidden in the Reggio hills. Here time seems to have stopped in Tibet. The village, in fact, hosts a Buddhist monastery within its medieval walls recognized by the Dalai Lama, who visited the village in 1999. The steep and winding streets that lead to Votigno are repaid by the mystical magic of the village.
