Trekking at the Briganti Cave

The trekking at the Grotta dei Briganti is super exciting and attracts many hikers and adventurers. It is like making a time trip through the various eras that have left their mark on this incredible place. At more than 120 meters above the famous lakes of Cavagrande lies the Briganti Cave (or the Conceria) a huge cavity in the north side of the Canyon.

This hidden place offers a breathtaking view and a source of drinking water, which made it the perfect refuge for the Siculi, the ancient inhabitants of these lands. Over the centuries, the Briganti Cave has had many stories! After the Siculi, it was also inhabited by the Byzantines and Arabs, who worked on the skins. Then, after the unification of Italy, it became the refuge of the robbers, who used it as a hiding place during their adventures.

To date, there are more than a hundred cave environments that bear witness to past civilizations.

They know everything about this place and will make you live an unforgettable adventure, discovering hidden secrets along the way.
