ペッツォーロヴァッレウズゾーンの天然記念物・トップ5

The stone mushroom is a curious rock formation about fifteen meters high. The upper part is formed by a gigantic mass of ophiolitic rock, while the lower part, which supports it, is a column of conglomerate.

The path of the ridges is a panoramic route that winds through the gully landscape of the Piana Crixia Park. In fact, you walk between ridges and steep slopes in continuous erosion, with the sole presence of pioneer vegetation.

It is a dialect term that originates from the fusion of "muròn" (big face) and riònd (round). Muriòn: big round face. The muriòn are formed following selective erosion which tends to "preserve" the harder and more compact blocks of sandstone and to "consume" more of the more friable sandy sandstone.

Going up from Saliceto towards the network of paths that reach Cengio and Gottasecca, you come across this curious rock church, simple but very suggestive. It is not indicated, so you have to be careful because it emerges almost suddenly from the bush. Ultimately it is a series of niches, of natural origin then manually reworked, which house some sacred images, curious rounded rock formations that emerge from the sandstone, a curious phenomenon but already seen in other areas around here. There is also a simple altar, difficult (at least for me) to date this place, which is nonetheless very suggestive.

Very similar to the Ciciu di Villar, they look like large mushrooms with a stem made of earth and a stone cap

It is a dialect word that originates from the fusion of "muròn" (large face) and riònd (round). Muriòn: big round face. The walls are formed as a result of selective erosion that tends to "preserve" the hardest and most compact sandstone blocks and to "consume" more of the more friable sandy sandstone.
