From andonno, it takes you to Valdieri on a dirt road, wide, closed to cars and motorbikes, but only for those who have land, can pass

The crystalline massif of Argentera is embraced by sedimentary rocks (limestone and dolomite). In these less compact and more permeable rocks than the crystalline ones of the peaks of the upper valley, the water, infiltrating through cracks and fissures, has dug tunnels and tunnels over the millennia.
The most important underground system in the valley is represented by the Grotte del Bandito, which open near the Gesso stream, in the Municipality of Roaschia. Here, remains of Ursus spelaeus, the ancient cave bear, were found. Here, taking advantage of the stable climate of the caves, colonies of Bats winter, whose hibernation must not be disturbed at all, otherwise the bats will die. Here the villagers dug for a long time in search of gold flakes. Species of invertebrates perfectly adapted to the underground environment live here.
Due to their naturalistic and palaeontological interest, the Bandito Caves have been a nature reserve since 2011 managed by the Maritime Alps Protected Areas, included in the SCI IT1160056 "Marittime Alps": they are subject to protection and access to the caves is strictly limited to research or visits authorized/conducted by the Park.
