A night under the stars
Summer nights to be spent with your nose to the sky, discovering the wonders of the celestial vault, immersed in a natural environment of great beauty. An unforgettable experience at the Planetarium-Astronomical Observatory of Cà del Monte, in Cecima. Under one of the least polluted skies in north-west Italy.
Walking on the highest peaks
A walk in Brallo di Pregola, on the ridge of Monte Lesima, at an altitude of 1724 metres. On the highest mountain of the Oltrepò Pavese and among the beech woods. On clear days you can even see the Ligurian Sea. An escape from the summer heat.
