카발리오-스포치아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

몬테 치스텔라(2,880m)는 스위스 국경에서 멀지 않은 이탈리아 오솔라의 레폰틴 알프스에 있는 가장 눈에 띄고 전망이 좋은 봉우리 중 하나입니다. 이웃한 피초 디에이(2,906m)와 연결된 넓은 고원 지대가 특징입니다. 정상에서는 발레의 4,000m 봉우리, 몬테 로사 산괴, 심플론을 조망할 수 있으며, 맑은 날에는 포 평원까지 보입니다. 가장 인기 있는 루트는 산 도메니코에서 알페 치암피노를 거쳐 시작됩니다. 여기에서 정상까지 약 890m의 고도 상승과 약 3시간 30분이 소요됩니다. 이 길은 여름철에는 힘든 산행(T3)으로 간주되지만 기술적으로는 그다지 어렵지 않습니다. 원하시면 몬테 치스텔라 – 피초 디에이의 아름다운 순환 루트를 도보 시간 및 GPX 추천과 함께 구성해 드릴 수도 있습니다.

Be careful, there are no more mattresses in the bivouac. A window is broken; it gets very, very cold at night. No fire pit. Don't plan to spend the night there unless it's an emergency.

There is a feeling of abrupt detachment when we enter what seems to be the mysterious door to the very heart of the mountain: almost suddenly we pass from a gentle, sunny and verdant landscape to a space of shadow where rare rays of sun struggle to penetrate, grazing the walls like blades of light, we pass from the heat to the cool-humid where only mosses and lichens manage to thrive and develop. We walk easily on the flat and dry bottom, created by the deposits of the streams, large irregularly rounded cavities alternate with narrow passages and above our heads dizzying walls seem at times to almost join together leaving only narrow openings towards the sky. Some metal ladders make the climb easier.

In Maiesso (535 m) you can admire, along the course of the Toce river, the so-called 'giants' potholes': the rocky banks hit by the swirling subglacial current, have been sculpted as if they were soft clay, giving rise to semicircular, sinuous, smooth and enveloping shapes, splendid inlets where the current relaxes and the torrent widens into sparkling pools of water that invite you to take a dive and a 'vivifying' immersion. Here you can also observe the "zero unit", the oldest formation in our Alps that emerges only here in the Antigorio valley.

You have to see what power water has.

These thermal baths are in Valle Onsernone at 986m, on the border between Switzerland and Italy and is crossed by the Isorno stream. It owes its name to a thermal water source at 28°C, it is not very popular and is definitely worth a visit.

The so-called 'pits of the giants' are round cavities dug into the rocks by the water. The sand and pebbles that can be seen in the cavities cause an abrasive effect on the rock, creating beautiful shapes. ✨💦
