LA VALLE DEL FREDDO, or VALLE DEL DIAVOLO
A strange phenomena without similar in all Europe.
The '
Valle del Freddo (Cold Valley), an
oasis of about 400m above the sea, presents an
alpine flora typical of very high mountains, unusual to low level areas; it is enough to think that, in this valley, it is possible to find
edelweiss.
On the
fauna side, we can meet foxes, badgers, weasels, hares, cuckoos and owls.
The reason of this
unusual ecoclimate is to research in a system of underground cold wind currents which going out from some rocks of the valley, keep the
cold temperature, suitable for the high mountains flora.
The 'Valle del Freddo' is open to visitor in May, June an July.
