Tanaro and Pesio valleys offer historic trekking routes

The Tanaro and Pesio valleys in the Cuneo Alps offer historical trekking routes that once served as vital commercial paths for salt and agricultural products between Piedmont and Liguria. These ancient paths, including military roads and shepherd trails, have transitioned into a heritage of white roads suitable for slow-paced exploration.

Key cultural stops include the medieval village of Garessio, recognized among the ‘Borghi più Belli d’Italia’, and Ormea, a town characterized by its heart-shaped layout and narrow alleys. The Alta Via del Sale provides a network of trails and paths designed for hikers and bikers to experience the region's biodiversity and historical landscape.
