From the bridge over the Varaita, entering Costigliole from the Saluzzo/Piasco side, you get a beautiful overview of the upper part of the town with its churches and castles (remember that there are as many as three castles in Costigliole Saluzzo).

Church dedicated to Santa Maria degli Angeli in the historic center of Manta. A neoclassical building with a façade decorated with pilasters and niches containing statues of saints. Very interesting. -- [Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli (Manta)]

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.

Even today you can see the excavations of the lime quarry. You can find an information panel that reports an episode narrated in 1883 by Aurelio Stella, professor of mineralogy at the Polytechnic of Turin, to the students during a visit to the Varaita Valley. In addition, you will find some interesting information and testimonies of a family about their life in the valley, between departures and returns through the woods.

Monte Pagliano is almost a thousand meters high, reaching 989 meters above sea level. Its summit is covered by a rich forest where several really fun MTB trails branch off. We recommend that you pedal a few more times to reach the beautiful panoramic point just beyond the summit from which you can admire Monviso, Monte San Bernardo and many other peaks.
