The best running trails around Villafalletto

Beautiful medieval village, perched around the fortifications that overlook it (the various castles), and the church of Santa Maria Maddalena. Very beautiful are the narrow streets that climb towards the top, and the bridge that allows access to the castle area.

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).

Spectacular bell tower, built with a superstructure on an original medieval core. Disorienting and very scenic. Nearby, a chapel also interesting. A beautiful view of little-trafficked streets.

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.

Located at the entrance to the Varaita Valley, Costigliole Saluzzo is a charming medieval village that combines history, culture and food and wine traditions. The town is dominated by three castles: the Castello Rosso, the Castello Reynaudi and the "Castellotto", which testify to the historical importance of the town. Among the notable buildings are the Palazzo Giriodi di Monastero, currently the town hall, and the Palazzo Sarriod de La Tour, which houses the municipal library and exhibition spaces. The parish church of Santa Maria Maddalena preserves in its crypt the "Cristo di Pietà", attributed to the Flemish painter Hans Clemer. Walking through the narrow streets of the historic center, you can admire picturesque views and ancient architecture that tell centuries of history. The surrounding area is renowned for the production of fruit, in particular the round Costigliole apricot and the Quagliano grape, from which a fine red wine is obtained.

The Tower of Attissano, originally known as the Tower of Pignolo until the 15th century, is a medieval structure located in the countryside of Attissano, in the municipality of Busca, Piedmont. Built with river stones, the tower initially served as an observation point. In 1759, on its truncated base, the bell tower of the rural chapel dedicated to San Bernardo was built, creating a unique architectural combination that unites medieval and religious elements.

Villafalletto, located in the heart of the province of Cuneo, is a charming village known for being the birthplace of Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a famous Italian anarchist unjustly convicted in the United States in the 1920s.

The streets of the village are characterized by historic buildings that tell the local history and centuries-old traditions. Villafalletto represents an ideal stop for those who want to immerse themselves in Piedmontese culture, discovering the stories and traditions that have shaped this community over the centuries.
