Altar stone near Madesimo (Sondrio Province).
Marmots have taken up residence underneath it but the surface is absolutely unscathed, it presents many single cup marks, some linked. Most of the engravings are along the northern edge of the stone, which is slightly sloped north to south. From the stream a series of regularly spaced flat rocks suggest a path to the altar.
The stone is located at the very end of Madesimo's valley, there the eyes can only wonder upwards towards the surrounding mountains. A very peaceful spot.
