ガルラーテの天然記念物・トップ20

follow the path that continues beyond to cross the three peaks of the pyramids

An interesting detour from the Viandante path

Certainly the most beautiful place to stop on a tour of Curone.

Be careful, it is forbidden to ride a bike from the top of the cypress trees. If the guards (who are looking through binoculars) catch you, you will be fined. In itself, it is worth going up on foot. The place is shrouded in legend. The hill of the cypress trees, a sort of natural sanctuary surrounded by 12 cypress trees. In 2001, through aerial surveys, a very bizarre coincidence was noticed. The area has 3 stepped pyramids, of equal slope, arranged quite close together, as if to simulate an astronomical observatory or a sacred-religious place. The first of the three pyramids is precisely that of the cypresses. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy a beautiful view, there is a sort of small stone altar and it is already a good place to take some photographs. Then you begin to gently descend along path 11 and you can reach the second of the pyramids of Montevecchia, the pyramid of Belvedere Cereda. It is a bare pyramid, very suggestive that allows you to observe the Curone park from the highest point. It is thought that the Celts used the pyramid as an astronomical observatory.

The spectacle is remarkable, accompanied by the deafening roar of the waters that fall from above with a jump of 50 meters. The imposing rocky walls carved by the water over the millennia suggest a primordial image in front of which one feels very small. This place surrounded by wild nature is a hidden jewel in the heart of Grigna, an oasis of peace and tranquility.

Beautiful tour...but sure-footedness is required

very special, I recommend it to see

Beautiful waterfall, lovely little pools and rapids to relax in. Water very refreshing. Lovely hiking destination.
