Attraction Valposchiavo
Gigant's Pots
In the Cavaglia Glacier Garden, with its typical alpine vegetation and rich flora, there are fascinating glacial mills: wonders of nature created by thousands of years of glaciation. A visit offers a unique, unforgettable experience.
Description
For thousands of years the melt from the Palü Glacier drilled deep, circular holes into solid rock, forming “giants’ cauldrons“ as the glacial potholes of Cavaglia are known. Twenty-one of them have been excavated so far, connected by an explanatory trail.
Opening hours
Open from March to October, depending on snow conditions.
