Wonderful little town, both for the fairytale panorama and for the town itself, which has a strange sense of beauty and harmony. For me it was love at first sight. The road that goes up there is wonderful, and also beautiful is the road that from Lemma climbs towards the Sanctuary of Valmala.

Just at the exit of the Airasca-Moretta cycle path, a perfect place for a prolonged stop, in the shade and with water available, immersed in the quiet.

Cathedral of Saluzzo, stunning in its Gothic architecture, and located at the end of the main street of Saluzzo, which in turn is a small gem that must be visited.

Beautiful mill just "for advertising" next to the main road. Very easy to see. Worth stopping and admiring calmly.

Piasco, located on the left of the Varaita stream, has ancient origins. It was a Roman customs station and then passed from the Lords of Venasca to the Marquises of Saluzzo up to the Savoy. Among the medieval testimonies still visible today, the civic tower, once a bell tower, and the Church of San Giovanni stand out. The Porporati castle, dating back to 1655, dominates the historic center.

The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Pilone originates from an extraordinary event: according to the chronicles, on July 23, 1684, a votive pillar dedicated to the Madonna began to mysteriously swing for several days, attracting crowds of faithful. On August 7, the first mass was celebrated under a tent, followed by the construction of a chapel to protect the Pilone. However, the influx of pilgrims made a larger building necessary: thus the current sanctuary was born, designed by the architect Gian Francesco Baroncelli, with a three-nave structure that still today houses the original chapel.

On the old railway (now cycle path) Airasca-Moretta, the former railway toll booth of Vigone has been revisited in a modern key to welcome cycle tourists in the small town with an enviable look. Restyling performed by the artist Coco Cano.
