The Seytes hamlet, inhabited by shepherds, was definitively abandoned in 1923. In 1925 the shepherd Bergero bought houses and pastures, transforming it into a pasture where butter, cheeses and "Sairas del fen" (a ricotta seasoned in hay) were produced. In 1944 the Germans, during a roundup against the partisans, set it on fire but the shepherds continued to use it until 1987.

Hiking

A small village within the Val Troncea natural park, with a few houses and many ruins. In summer, along the path that comes from the Troncea refuge, it is possible to meet many nice marmots.

Running

Seytes, an ancient hamlet now abandoned in the Val Troncea Natural Park, was once lively with the production of dairy products. Now, among the ruins, you can meet curious marmots.
