Cevio Museum, Cevio (10 minutes' drive from Maggia)

Cevio Museum, Vallemaggia

Discover the history of the valley and its inhabitants and how people used to live in dwellings beneath the rocks. In the woods above the museum is a trail of old stone dwellings built around the massive rocks strewn here and there on the mountain face.

It is a good idea to take a torch with you to visit the dwellings on the inside as well.

The museum also has a small bookshop selling books on local history and traditions
