The pyramids in Zone are popularly called “fairy rocks”, but their scientific name is in fact “erosion pyramids”. It’s an impressive natural phenomenon, a unique sample in Valle Camonica. The pyramids are located in Cislano, in the town of Zone, 600 meters above the sea level. The pyramids are in fact rock steeples (about 30 meters high) with a kind of rock hat on the top. Steeples are originated by the water erosion. The phenomenon offers an attractive evidence of the ancient glacier, which covered the whole area in the past era. The erosion process is ongoing, and we can observe it even on a decade basis. New specimen are originated and some are destroyed, so that the whole place is surrounded by canyons. Entrance is free, and there is a short circuit really easy to travel.
