Panoramic viewpoint over Perosa Argentina, next to the church of San Genesio. The view of the town is beautiful, and especially of the surrounding valleys and mountains.

Faro della Libertà, a 15-meter high stone tower designed by architects Gabetti and Isola in 1967, in memory of the 600 partisans who fell in Pinerolese: from here the panorama ranges 360° over the western Alps and the Pinerolese plain, with the unmistakable silhouette of the Rocca di Cavour.

After the demanding climb of Via Massina, with its more than respectable ramps, the arrival in Prarostino finally offers some respite. From here, the view stretches over the plain below, amply rewarding the effort of the last few hundred meters of elevation gain.

Classic climb, not very long but quite impactful. It gives satisfaction in all seasons.

Perhaps the oldest still existing Waldensian temple, it is a small building in the locality of Ciabàs, just above the road, with an explanatory sign summarizing its history. Inside (normally closed) are buried several prominent historical figures, including the famous Baron Von Leutrum, hero of the 18th-century siege of Cuneo, sung in the historic song "Baron Litron" (which, we recall, has nothing to do with "liters" of wine or similar modern amenities). You have to make a bit of an effort to get there, going up towards Angrogna, with some initially impactful ramps - but it is certainly worth the visit.

Ancient Romanesque church with a peculiarity: in the 19th century it was "turned", and the old apse became the new facade - hence the fact of having the bell tower next to the facade instead of at the back of the church. On the old facade (now apse) traces of the original frescoes are still noticeable. Table and picnic benches on the Pinerolo side for a peaceful break.

Very old Romanesque church, with a peculiarity: in the 19th century the church was "turned around", the apse became the facade and vice versa - hence the anomaly of the bell tower next to the facade, when normally it is behind. On the old facade, traces of the original frescoes can still be seen. Next to the little church, on the side towards Pinerolo, a table and benches for a quiet break. Located right on the Bruino-Pinerolo cycle path, very convenient to reach, a beautiful destination for a quiet little ride.
