access_time 3h - Free

The caves of Aisone preserve the traces of a seasonal habitat dating from the middle and final Neolithic (5th - beginning of the 4th millennium BC).

At that time, the valley (like the rest of Piedmont) was faced with the multiplication of habitats and the growing occupation of the territory, the colonization of mountainous areas even extending into the interior of the Alpine valleys.

Along the access to the caves, admire the remains of rye straw roofs and the traces of glaciers on the rock.

2. Visit of the sheep rocks and glacial locks, macroforms from ancient sea beds destroyed by glaciers.
