The Mountains born in the Sea: actions, objectives, places and information

GEOLOGICAL INTRODUCTION

HOW DID THE ALPINE CHAIN FORM?

Monginevro Mountain Chain with the Chenaillet – Monti della Luna and Chaberton Mountain - are the spectacular testimony of an extinct paleo-geographical environment which is still recognizable: this extraordinary landscape is of remarkable naturalistic value. It is a fragment of the ancient pre-alpine ocean, a part of its "fossil" sea floor that preserves rocks and morphological elements unique across the entire alpine arc: from the basalt flows of the volcanic ocean ridge to the 200 million year old coral reefs.


GEOLOGICAL ITINERARIES
ECO-COMPATIBLE TURISM

In order to admire this exceptional geological park we propose three itineraries on foot or by mountain bike: around Cesana, in the Thuras Valley and at Colletto Verde.
