This tongue of rock suspended in the void is very famous because it is reminiscent of the great sheer fjords of Norway. The name means "crouching woman": if observed from the Vallone (Orrido) of Elva, it looks like a curled up lady.

Fermo Cuncunà in Occitan means "crouching woman" and, to be called this, it is precisely the set of rocks that form the profile of a crouched female figure. Not only this surprising play of perspectives particularly evident on the road of the Vallone di Elva.

Here, you can enjoy an enchanting view of the Bettone, Chersogno, Marchisa, Pelvo and Monviso mountains. While under the rock, if you don't suffer from vertigo, you can admire the overhang on the Vallone di Elva.

Fremo Cuncunà is an incredible spur of rock suspended in the void above the Vallone di Elva. In reality, Fremo Cuncunà is not called this single rock but rather the set of rocks that form the figure of a crouching woman, which in Occitan is called Fremo Cuncunà. The best place to see this figure in its entirety is the road of the Vallone di Elva.
