The Conca del Farno is famous for its unique microclimate, which can lead to extremely low temperatures, comparable to those of the Arctic. For example, peaks of -29°C and even -33°C have been recorded in the past. This phenomenon is due to the geological and morphological conformation of the area, characterized by karst depressions that favor thermal inversion. During clear and windless nights, cold air remains trapped in the basin, creating particularly harsh conditions.
