Valle Bavona: between stone giants and human ingenuity

Bignasco

Traveling along the road that crosses Valle Bavona is enough to realize how extraordinary this place is.

Colossal boulders rise imposingly along the path, silent witnesses to a valley sculpted by nature over centuries. In the past, legend spoke of a "war between giants" to explain their origin, adding to the mystery and allure of this wild land.

The valley’s unpredictable terrain and harsh climate forced its inhabitants—farmers and shepherds—to develop ingenious solutions to make the most of the limited land available.
