Tips from the Community
Panoramic point that offers a beautiful overview of the town of Brondello, and especially of its tower, which overlooks the town and is clearly visible from afar, silhouetted against the mountains.

Nice little village, very small, but rich in traditional architecture - starting with the church of San Massimo. Two fountains with drinking water. To get there you have to leave the provincial road, but it's absolutely worth it (if only to avoid traffic). Be careful that if you exit at the highest point, the last ramp exceeds 15% by a considerable margin.

Beautiful church nestled in a literally postcard-perfect landscape: the stone bridge, the road that rises beside it, the church standing out against the sky... A beautiful sight as you descend.

This is a small country church immersed in the silence of the hills.

A stretch of road connecting the Rossana pass to the town of Busca, an alternative route to the provincial road and the road along the Maira. It offers stunning views of the plain and the Alps in the distance—as well as a lovely glimpse of a nearly hidden valley behind Busca, the existence of which I was unaware.

Beautiful town, with a historic center enclosed in three streets (which manage to be a maze of no entry signs).

From the bridge over the Varaita torrent, just outside the heart of Costigliole Saluzzo, a suggestive panorama opens up that embraces the village perched on the hill and the waters of the torrent that flow at its feet. From this privileged position, you can admire the houses with their red tile roofs, the streets that climb towards the historic center and, on clear days, the majestic backdrop of the Alps. The sound of the flowing water and the view of the surrounding nature make this place perfect for a panoramic stop, immersing yourself in the tranquility of the Piedmont countryside.

Busca is a town at the foot of the morainic hills between the Maira and Varaita valleys. Precisely because of its position, it boasts a mild climate that has been appreciated since ancient times. The name appears for the first time in a document dating back to 1123. The town develops around the ancient historic center surrounded by walls, partly still visible.
