The best running trails around Villafalletto

A stretch of road connecting the Rossana pass to the town of Busca, an alternative route to the provincial road and the road along the Maira. It offers stunning views of the plain and the Alps in the distance—as well as a lovely glimpse of a nearly hidden valley behind Busca, the existence of which I was unaware.

Beautiful old church, in a very scenic position overlooking the Cuneo plain. The climbs to get there have ramps at the limit of legality, but it's worth it.

Beautiful town, with a historic center enclosed in three streets (which manage to be a maze of no entry signs).

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.

Busca is a town at the foot of the morainic hills between the Maira and Varaita valleys. Precisely because of its position, it boasts a mild climate that has been appreciated since ancient times. The name appears for the first time in a document dating back to 1123. The town develops around the ancient historic center surrounded by walls, partly still visible.

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 village offers a historic center full of architectural testimonies, among which the Parish Church of San Giovanni Battista stands out, an example of Piedmontese Baroque art. 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.
