Tips

In the early 19th century, Alpe Cavallaccio was a vast expanse of pastures and woods. In 1880, the larger hut was built as a stable, while the smaller hut served as a shelter for shepherds and a tool shed. After World War II, they were abandoned and then purchased by a private individual who used them as a support structure for the Baveno pink granite quarry.
In the 1960s, a group of fishermen from Baveno created a small lake for recreational fishing.
In 1968, the lake was abandoned and turned into a pond. Many children of yesteryear remember it as "the Frog Pond." In the 1980s, the hut was left in use as a tool shed for the quarry. Renovation and reactivation work began in 2009, inspired by ethical and conservationist construction.
