    Running

    It is a dialect term that originates from the fusion of "muròn" (big face) and riònd (round).
    Muriòn: big round face.
    The muriòn are formed following selective erosion which tends to "preserve" the harder and more compact blocks of sandstone and to "consume" more of the more friable sandy sandstone.

    The walls are formed as a result of selective erosion that tends to "preserve" the hardest and most compact sandstone blocks and to "consume" more of the more friable sandy sandstone.

    Hiking

    Very similar to the Ciciu di Villar, they look like large mushrooms with a stem made of earth and a stone cap
