Pension "Ul Furmighin" in Sagno
When the public taverns and the grocery store in Sagno were closed in 1994, a group of local inhabitants, supported by the community, sprung into action and created something new. The unused, large parsonage was converted to a hostel with individual and shared rooms, a restaurant and a shop.
The name Ul Furmighin means "the ant" in the local dialect, and refers to the former meeting place, the village square, where the gathering of people were perceived like an ant. Ul Furmighin wants to liven up and reinvigorate the village and the valley. The cuisine is excellent, and is based on local produce and regional recipes, which are pretty much Italian in this district.
