The main tourist destination in Moesano is undoubtedly San Bernardino. The village is located at the foot of the pass of the same name, at 1626 m a.s.l. and is immersed in a beautiful nature.

Description

Already at the beginning of the 19th century, San Bernardino developed into a popular travel destination, when members of the aristocratic class of neighboring Italy visited the place, known for its therapeutically valuable mineral water. Later, San Bernardino reorganized itself and relied on its scenic strengths as well as new sports facilities in terms of tourism. In summer, it is the natural landscapes, pine forests, moors and rich flora that make San Bernardino an ideal destination for those who crave peace and nature. It should be mentioned that certain local plant species do not occur in any other European area.

In summer, the natural environment, the pine forest, the marshes and the particular flora make San Bernardino the ideal destination for those looking for peace and nature.

Of particular importance are some plant species that cannot be found in any other area of Europe and, together with the healing water flowing from the mineral spring, determine the uniqueness of the place.
