    The Certosa di Montebenedetto is a small wax monastery dating back to 1198. It is located in a beautiful, open position within the Parco dell'Orsiera, which can be reached after a short path in a wonderful beech forest typical of Piedmont woods. The complex also houses a small guesthouse that follows the seasonal opening hours of the refuges. You can also buy typical products such as honey, cheese and yogurt. It is a small complex but very beautiful and well kept.

      Beautiful place, a picnic place for families, can also be reached by car on the road. The guesthouse rents beds to hikers, and there is also a mountain pasture that sells cheese, milk, butter and ice cream. It can be the destination of arrival of a beautiful path that starts from Villar Focchiardo or the starting point of several walks, with destination for example the Pian dell'Orso or the Colle del Vento.
