In the Lario Intelvese area, the extensive and powerful coverings of sedimentary-carbonate rocks have allowed the formation of karst phenomena, both superficial and underground.<\/p>

DIFFICULTY' <\/strong>\u2013 Caving is a potentially dangerous activity and many of the caves listed require knowledge of rope progression and appropriate materials. In some, there is also the risk of "full" for the siphons which, if filled, could create serious difficulties. Anchors, (Oct. 2013), are generally considered exploratory\/barely sufficient, with possible integration needs.<\/p>

USEFUL INFORMATION<\/strong> \u2013 For general information and to experience the thrill of a descent into a cave, accompanied by qualified speleological guides (with specific equipment rental), contact Antonio 335 5480 565<\/a> Salandin San Fedele Intelvi footwear shop opening hours.

TOURIST CAVES<\/strong> \u2013 accessible without equipment<\/p>

GENEROUS CAVE<\/strong> (or Bear's Cave) \u2013 LoCo 2694 Centro Valle Intelvi, variant of the \u201clow\u201d path to Mt Generoso, q 1450 dev. over 200, 70 meters open to visitors, entrance fee. From the car park in Orimento the path begins which takes about an hour to reach the cave. After a few minutes you reach a small wooden bridge: go up on the left through the woods up to Alpe Pesv\u00f2 di Mezzo (1368 m) with the remains of a rural settlement in dry stone: once upon a time nine families lived here with 400 cattle.
Attention:<\/strong> the site is abandoned and rather unsafe. The path then climbs steeply up to the "Sella d'Orimento", with a magnificent view of Ceresio. Continue along a wide, flat path and in a few minutes you arrive at the entrance to the "bear's cave", a cavity dug by water over millions of years, which contains a fossiliferous deposit. The Pleistocene paleontological site (over 50,000 years ago) was the subject of research by scholars from the University of Milan. The excavations, carried out over the course of 20 years, brought to light over 40,000 fossils of the Ursus Spelaeus, the cave bear (extinct for 15,000 years), but not only that; the remains have made it possible to identify the animals that lived in this area: many small mammals (mice, voles and shrews), the giant deer or megacerus (with antlers opening another 3.5 metres), the elk, the ibex, the wolf, the brown bear. Some worked flints attest to the presence of Neanderthal Man.<\/p>
