The Muggio Valley was once very nearly abandoned, but precisely because the locals place importance on their past, it now lives on into the future as an open-air museum.

Drop down the Monte Generoso to the less well-known Muggio valley and travel back in time. As if time has stood still for the past 200 years, the villages cling like swallows' nests on to the rocks. Follow fascinating paths past renovated buildings, witnesses to a traditional way of life. The Muggio valley is a fantastic example of a living open-air museum.
