Ligonchio

Highlight • Settlement

Ligonchio is a small village of around 800 inhabitants, belonging to the Municipality of Ventasso. The town is located 949 meters above sea level, between the Ozola and Secchia valleys, at the foot of Mount Cusna, the highest peak of the Reggio Emilia Apennines.
From the center of Ligonchio Sopra there is an easy path that leads to the summit of Monte della Croce, which overlooks the town. Here there is a Giant Bench from the international Big Bench Community project circuit.
Thanks to its proximity to Mount Cusna, Ligonchio is a strategic starting point for exploring the area's trails by mountain bike.

Monte Orsaro Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Beautiful refuge built in stone and wood located at 1,300 meters above sea level, adjacent to the picturesque village of Monteorsaro, in the municipality of Villa Minozzo. Its position within a natural amphitheater dominated by Mount Cusna makes it an ideal place for a break immersed in the nature of the Reggio Emilia Apennines.

A strategic starting point for excursions in the area, the refuge has 32 beds, offers the possibility of camping and has a restaurant with excellent traditional Emilian cuisine. Outside there is also a large green space with sun loungers and a relaxation area.

The refuge is open every day in the months of July and August and during the Christmas holidays, public holidays and every weekend in the rest of the year.
