The Magnesite Quarries The area of ​​the Magnesite Quarries within the ZSC, located on the north-eastern slopes of Monte Musinè and near Moncalvo, had historical importance in the industrial sector. The extraction of magnesite, a crystalline mineral obtained by the modification of ultramafic rocks by water, took on the characteristics of an industrial activity from the mid-19th century. In more ancient times, the mineral was used for the construction of the floors of the Villa Rustica (Roman Villa) of the Pian. In 1875, two entrepreneurs from Pinerolo intervened and started a stable work activity in the quarries, which gave them a sufficient income. The excavation area was expanded in 1880 to make the most of the increased demand for minerals. In particular, magnesite was used in the production of common porcelain and as a refractory material in furnace linings. The activity remained profitable until the outbreak of the Second World War, which led to the abandonment of the mine. Currently, the area is important from a hiking point of view. In fact, it offers a route of scenic and historical interest and is visited by geologists and hikers.

Beautiful erratic boulders in the middle of the plain below Villarbasse. Easy to reach, both from the provincial road and from the dirt roads behind. For enthusiasts, there are also several climbing / bouldering routes.

Very suggestive place, you can also get there with a MTB taking into account a bit of portage on the last stretch.

Excellent for a stop, to decide which route to take.

Beautiful work that can be found along the Corona Verde route after Robassomero, but on the other bank of the Stura river
