    Hiking

    Small nineteenth-century sanctuary, in a beautiful panoramic position over Melle and the Varaita valley. Water point. The front porch offers good shelter against the rain. Easily accessible both from San Bernardo delle Sottole and from the Ponte di Valcurta road, practically all on a dirt road (from San Bernardo it is possible to take a stretch of path that passes through an ancient abandoned village, even easier than the road). Excellent destination for a family outing.
