The Piana del Valasco is a place of rare beauty. At the end of the climb this wonderful plateau opens up in front of you with the homonymous refuge in the center. The sound of the flowing Rio Valasco makes everything even more idyllic. From the plateau you can undertake numerous walks in the lateral or upper valleys.

Hiking

Large green plateau with a stream that flows sideways and a nice refuge with two side towers that make it look like a castle. A very popular place especially in summer by many families, it can also be reached by an easy dirt road if you don't want to take the trails.
From here, however, beautiful walks start, with many beautiful lakes to visit further upstream.

Surely one of the most beautiful places in the province of Cuneo, reachable without great difficulty even by occasional hikers
