Hiking
A small typical village with a well maintained mill for making corn flour. It is worth a stop and visit with adequate calm, it is a real "mill park" that can be visited with a guided tour or on your own.

Hiking
In Vergeletto, the pleasant scent of nature, of leaves and flowers from the surrounding grove, mixes with a hint of popcorn. A grinder exudes the aroma. Roasted and ground cornmeal, the Farina bóna, has been produced again in the tranquil village in the upper Onsernon Valley for several years. It is thanks to Ilario Garbani Marcantini that this old tradition was revived. On the initiative of the former teacher, musician and now miller, part of the five Vergeletto mills were restored. This resulted in a "mill park" that can be visited on a guided tour or on your own.
