Montalto Dora. Little rain and too many visitors: the dancing lands are at risk

The site pays the price of the boom of hikers (over 5 thousand a year) and the mayor speculates to acquire the land to regulate access

MONTALTO DORA

The dancers of Montalto Dora are slowly losing elasticity. The particular flexibility of the land that makes them real natural mattresses, thanks to the roots of the trees that developed above the peat bog of what used to be Lake Coniglio, is slowly reducing. It is the effect of the trampling and the constant skipping of the visitors. Which are more and more numerous.
