Monument to Marco Pantani on the Colletta di Rossana

Highlight • Monument

Placed in May 2016 to greet the passage of the Giro d'Italia and pay homage to the "Pirate" Pantani, this plaque is an initiative promoted by the municipality of Busca with Costigliole Saluzzo and Rossana and with the support of the passionate Mario Berardo. Created by the Verzuolo craftsman Massimo Mondino, the work is a destination for tourists and enthusiasts.

Strada dei Cannoni

Highlight • Trail

The Strada dei Cannoni is an iconic military road, built in the 18th century on the watershed between the Maira Valley and the Varaita Valley. The intent was to facilitate the passage of men and military vehicles, but - despite its name - it was never used for military purposes and today remains an exciting route for mountain bike lovers.

Here, in fact, you can pedal with the fresh air caressing your face and letting yourself be enchanted by the magnificent panorama that ranges from the Maritime Alps to the Cottian Alps.

Devil's Bridge of Dronero

Highlight • Bridge

Like any self-respecting city dating back to the Middle Ages, Dronero also has the Devil's Bridge. Legend has it that the Droneresi asked the Devil for help to build the bridge over the Torrente Maira. He accepted on condition that he was offered the soul of the one who would first cross it. The astute inhabitants of Dronero, however, when the work was completed, had a dog go to test the architectural work. The Devil ran away in anger.
