    The fortifications of the Rocce Rosse are observation posts in caves, tunnels that pierce the mountain from side to side and artifacts that are part of the Cadorna Line

      The Rocce Rosse are colorful red porphyry outcrops of the Permian age (275 ± 8 Ma), called “Granofiro di Cuasso”, also known as “Red Porphyry of Cuasso”.

        At the top of "Rocce Rosse" you'll have an amazing view: the southern part of Lago di Lugano is visible with Porto Ceresio. You can also have a picnic on the top of the rocks.
