    Hiking

    Alpe Moncodeno is a mountain pasture that is still in operation today. It is one of the most loved places on this side of the Grigne, above all for the large quantity of mysterious caves. There are more than 600 of them, but the most famous is perhaps the "Moncodeno cave": an eternal ice sanctuary visited and mentioned by Leonardo da Vinci, which offers a cool refuge even on the hottest summer days.
