Summer solstice at the Cromlech of the Little San Bernardo Pass
Contact
The magic of the summer solstice at the Cromlech of the Little San Bernardo Pass conveys a unique emotion. After 7pm, at the sunset behind Lancebranlette, a shadow advances and casts some particular outlines: if the weather is good, it is an unmissable event. The sunset will take place in the cromlech with its original shape.
Public works to move the road which cut the cromlech into two parts are finally over. The cromlech is now how it was when it was bilt and it turns to be a very important point for astronomic observations.
