Entrance to Grotta del Bandito

Highlight • Cave

The dirt road from Valdieri to Bandito passing directly in front of the caves of the nature reserve is very panoramic and well cared for.
Nice to ride but just as nice for a walk.

Not to be missed.

Uomini e Lupi Wildlife Center

Highlight • Structure

The Men and Wolves Wildlife Center (with paid admission) is certainly a place of naturalistic and museum interest. A turret allows observation of wolves in the surrounding area.

September 11, 2022,Tour della media valle Gesso - Cuneotrekking.com

Very suggestive ring tour also suitable for spring as training or late autumn, with mixed single tracks that are not too technical. The Energy path with passage under the majestic dam is beautiful. The Bousset ring (last piece in Entracque) could continue. Poles with clear indications.
