Nature and surroundings
This accommodation is situated in Isorno valley, a very wild and unknown valley in Ossola region. Besides the hut flows a creek where it is possible to take a cool bath, to keep cool drinks and watermelons but also can be enjoyed along a track of canyoning several km long with jumps up to 30 meter high. It is possible to hike, or cycling on the road and on mountain paths. It is possible to organize trekkings of few days sleeping in the bivouacs or in alpine refuges. Many animals populate the valley as deers, chamois, roes, eagles, partridges and more. Respect them! Also respect flowers and mountain huts which had been build by hand with great efforts. By night it is possible to observe an incredible amount of stars in an absolute dark and pollution free sky. Living there few days can be very relaxing and restoring. In summertime at the alpages can be possible to run into cows and goats grazing and buying milk, fresh cheese and butter. In the valley there are not inhabitants and you'll meet very few people.
