Earth Pyramids of Zone
Piramidi di Zone
Glacial earth pyramids in the hills on the eastern shore of Lake Iseo, with slender earth towers up to 30 meters tall, each capped by a boulder. A rare erosional landform.
The earth pyramids formed when rain eroded glacial deposits. Their rock caps act like hats, protecting the columns beneath, and they reach heights of up to about 30 meters. A trail in the protected area starts from the village of Cislano and takes about an hour round trip, with views over the lake. From Marone, it is about a 15-minute drive along a mountain road. Public transport is inconvenient, so driving is recommended.
