Wooden Ladder of the Orrido di Caino

Highlight • Structure

Wooden staircase that allows you to overcome the rocky overhang that from the bottom of the Bova valley rises above the ravine of Caino. Elevation of about fifteen meters. three ramps alternating with 2 landings. Possibility of securing to a fixed steel rope with harness. Access path protected by some chains, less demanding than the iron staircase opposite. Once you have passed the difference in level, you follow a path protected in the most exposed sections by a parapet. The path allows you to admire the gorge from above and join the path that arrives from the iron staircase.
It is possible to descend from the iron staircase by completing a ring at the bottom of the valley or to climb further towards Mount Puscio or continue halfway up the slope towards the hermitage of San Salvatore

Buco del Piombo

Highlight • Cave

Originating from the action of rain, over millions of years, on the sedimentary rock called Majolica which is nothing but the bottom of an ancient ocean from the Mesozoic era, which emerged 140 million years ago, the cave is the point of entrance to an intricate system of tunnels that develop under the Alpe del Viceré.
