The Pyramids of Earth of Segonzano are a masterpiece of nature: towers, ridges, pinnacles arranged like organ pipes, tall columns topped by a porphyry boulder.
They are located in the Municipality of Segonzano, in the Valle di Cembra. A unique geological phenomenon in Trentino and rare in the world.
Remnants of a morainic deposit dating back to the last glaciation, the Pyramids are now a tourist attraction of high educational value. The site is accessible year-round via a specially equipped and well-marked path.
The classic shape of a pyramid is that of a truncated cone topped by a boulder.
Alongside this, one can observe pointed pyramids with conical stems and lacking the protective boulder: they are generally not very tall and this indicates a rapid evolution.
Another typical shape is the crest, consisting of a serrated and sharp strip of land, whose formation is due to the thinning of the watershed, located between two ravines.
Sometimes the pyramids are grouped like "organ pipes".
