San Secondo di Pinerolo

Highlight • Settlement

he first news dates back to the late Middle Ages but it is in the eighteenth century, after the wars of religion between Catholics and reformed, that the municipality experienced a process of development of fruit growing, viticulture and the craft of terracotta pottery (the tupin), counting, in the 19th century, no less than 14 factories.

Bricherasio

Highlight • Settlement

According to some, its name derives from the Celtic personal name Briccarius or Brittgarius, according to others from the term brich, which in the Piedmontese language means "high ground".

Old Bagnolo Piemonte Station

Highlight • Historical Site

Old station of the Bricherasio-Barge railway, abandoned but still in good condition on the outside. In front, picnic area with tables, benches, and water point.
--
UPDATE JULY 2025: the station has been restored, and now it is a marvel. Looking towards Bricherasio it seems like being in a spaghetti western. All that's missing is Lee Van Cleef saying "this train *stops* in Bagnolo Piemonte".

Luserna Stone Quarries (Montoso)

Highlight • Structure

Pietra di Luserna is a valuable metamorphic rock, known as lamellar gneiss, extracted mainly in the Cottian Prealps of central-western Piedmont, between Val Pellice and Valle Po. The municipalities of Luserna San Giovanni, Rorà and Bagnolo Piemonte are home to numerous active quarries, with a significant concentration in the town of Montoso, located at about 1,400 meters above sea level.
The extraction of Pietra di Luserna dates back to at least the 17th century, with historical documentation attesting to the presence of 42 operating quarries and the employment of 84 workers as early as 1833-34. This stone has been used in important architectural works, including the external flooring of the royal palaces of Turin, Racconigi and Venaria Reale.
The stone is processed both on site and in nearby towns, such as Bagnolo Piemonte, where the extracted stones are subjected to various processes and treatments to enhance their beauty and natural characteristics.
Today, Luserna Stone continues to represent a significant economic resource for the region, keeping alive a centuries-old tradition that unites craftsmanship and industry.

Picnic area and Montoso stone sign

Highlight • Rest Area

Here, in front of the huge stone sign of Montoso, at 1,248 metres, you can take a well-deserved photo for having conquered this climb, a part of the 2019 Giro d'Italia, and treat yourself to a break at the picnic area.
