Monte Cornetto summit (2,178 m)

Highlight • Summit

An easy hike along the crest of the hill from Viote. Alternatively, you can climb steeper (and therefore with more shade) via the Cima Verde through the forest. Below the structure of the summit you can still find a number of battlements from the First World War.

Terrazza delle Stelle Astronomical Observatory

Highlight • Monument

The "Terrace of the Stars" is an astronomical observatory located in the Viote Valley, in the Monte Bondone area. Far from the lights of urban centers, it is the ideal place for stargazing. The observatory is equipped with powerful telescopes that, under the guidance of expert operators, become the perfect tools for admiring the heavens. Astronomical observations are complemented by classical and pop music concerts, scientific theater performances, shows, children's stories, and in-depth astronomy courses. By day, the sun takes center stage, revealing its spectacular hidden face through telescopes equipped with special filters.

The dome is made of polished steel, a solution that creates a striking mirror effect: the day and night views are reflected in the dome, a metaphor for the relationship between heaven and earth, as ancient as humanity. The observatory's main instrument is a computer-controlled 80-cm reflecting telescope, which allows for incredible observations. It is complemented by six other instruments for observing the sky in all its aspects.

In 2023, it received important recognition from UNESCO with its inclusion in the world list of "sites connected to the sky."
