Frozen hidden gems

Side valleys

Val Vigezzo is nice in summer, with cool praires and paths in the shadows for relaxing trekking. It is also very interesting because lots of mushrooms may be collected in the pine forest; just a small but very important detail: mushrooms, as well as raspberries, blueberries, chestnuts and wood itself are natural resources which represent a crucial item for revenues of inhabitants. People from other areas are requested to pay a small fee for a permit to pick up those fruits, so as to redraw the "loss" for the benefit of the local community.
