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.

Hiking

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.

Mountain biking

Nice climb from Villarfocchiardo, on asphalt except 1 KM on dirt. You can go down the path without returning to the paved road.
