Riserva delle Alevie
Piedmont
The Riserva delle Alevie protects a rare stand of ancient yew trees growing on limestone cliffs above the Pesio valley. A circular path through Mediterranean bush and karst formations delivers unexpected canyon views and the eerie dark canopy of trees that can live 2,000 years.
