Terres Monviso
Telling the story of a land without borders
Terres Monviso
Occitan culture between Italy and France
Straddling Italy and France, a marvellous territory awaits you, made up of environments that vary from the gentle hills of the valley floor to the rich high-altitude meadows, up to the 3841 m of the imposing King of Stone, the Monviso mountain from where the Po, Italy's longest river, flows.
This uncontaminated corner of Europe has been recognised by UNESCO as the Monviso Biosphere Reserve. It is a delicate and unique land of extraordinary beauty.
These valleys are the ideal place for those who love mountains and nature, and above all open-air sports: ranging from trekking to horse riding, mountain biking to rock and ice climbing, kite surfing to paragliding, downhill to cross-country skiing and canoeing to rafting.
Find your activity
All the trekking excursions available can be done on foot or by bike. Travel the length and breadth of the valleys among forests, medieval villages, meadows, and lakes. Discover the winter sports on the Monviso skyline and find your ideal experience, to be done alone or in the company of professional guides.
A past rich in history and a present that has fully invested in culture: Saluzzo and the Lands of Monviso are now, after years of hard work, on the short-list of candidates to become the 2024 Italian Capital of Culture.
