    Superb Walser village easily accessible without too much difficulty. I recommend reaching it starting from the Fondovalle and passing through the Antillone pasture.

      Salecchio is an ancient Walser colony founded in the 13th century by German settlers who immigrated from Valais on a rocky terrace overlooking the Antigorio Valley. It consisted of 50 stables for 25 houses, and an economy based on livestock farming for seven centuries. Isolation and marginalization led to the village's abandonment in 1966, but its architectural features have been preserved to this day.
