Enjoy the unique panorama of the Bergeller Alps that spreads out in front of you!

The Bergell is a geologically highly interesting area. The mountains Cima dal Cantun and Cima di Castello consist of the Bergeller granite, which is composed of particularly large potash feldspar crystals. When liquid rock from the Earth's interior penetrated into the upper layers 30 million years ago, these beautiful crystals were formed by slow solidification. During the shifts of the Tectonic Plates in the Tertiary, the granite rock was rapidly lifted to the surface.

The rugged rock faces of the Bergeller Alps are typical of the hard granite rock and very popular with mountaineers.
