Alp Nadigh

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In the old Rustici (dry stone buildings) on the Alp Nadigh, farmers live in the summer. Even today you can still see the so-called Nevère (ice pits), a kind of limestone refrigerator, where they used to cool their milk for butter and cheese production. These special coolers are only available on the Monte Generoso.
