The Gheisa d’la Tana is a natural cavity located in Val d’Angrogna, a side valley of Val Pellice, particularly known for its history linked to the Waldensian community. The name, which in Piedmontese means "Church of the Tana", recalls the use that the Waldensians made of it during the period of religious persecution, when they clandestinely celebrated religious functions in this natural hiding place.

The cave is located in a wooded area on the left side of the valley and can be reached via a short hiking trail, marked and suitable for everyone.

Here guys, the story gets deep. We recommend overcoming the initial fear of the unconscious and, for those who do not suffer from claustrophobia, enter the very short tunnel: it will take you inside a cave that will leave you speechless.
