Piramidi di Postalesio

The Piramidi di Postalesio, or Pyramids of Postalesio, are a natural phenomenon of great interest, both from the perspective of flora and fauna and with respect to the landscape itself. The pyramids are formed by the erosive action of rainwater, which crumbles and carries away the soil, leaving intact only the compact boulders. This process is ongoing, and new pyramids are forming. The area is home to a unique microclimate, which has favored the growth of a dense forest with a mix of cold-climate species, such as larches, European spruce, and Scots pine, and species that prefer warmer climates. The pyramids are situated in a natural reserve, which can be reached by a trail that takes about 40 minutes to walk
