ベルネッツォのおすすめライド

Nice place to linger

Stunning building: former neo-Gothic spinning mill with turrets, perfectly restored. It houses a cultural foundation. It is very beautiful to see from a distance, but it is located at a fairly busy roundabout - viewing from a distance requires taking some risks. However, once you reach the center of the roundabout, it works as a life preserver, and you can have fun taking photos.

A stretch of road that crosses some meadows, in the month of May you can see the poppies in bloom.

go there in May!!

Road with little traffic, sometimes closed to traffic

The Church of San Giovanni, founded in 603, originally stood outside the walls of Caraglio. Over the centuries it has undergone numerous interventions, mixing different architectural styles: Romanesque and Gothic on the outside, with a Baroque interior and a facade dating back to the early twentieth century. Inside are preserved the relics of San Dolcido, a Roman soldier donated by the Pope to a noble family of Caraglio.

This smooth asphalt road connects the two villages of Vallera and Valgrana. It is a secondary road with almost no vehicular traffic, here you can relax in the shade of the trees making your thin wheels roll quickly.

The Devil's Bridge in Dronero, built in 1428 over the Maira torrent, is a remarkable example of medieval civil engineering. This bridge has three arches of different sizes and is slightly curved, with lateral parapets surmounted by swallow-tailed Ghibelline battlements. Originally, on the pillar of the smaller arch towards the centre of Dronero, there was a drawbridge, whose iron hinge was found under the road surface; this was removed in 1810 when the entrance passage was widened and the Ghibelline battlements were restored. The name "Devil's Bridge" comes from a local legend: it is said that, to overcome the difficulties in building the bridge, the inhabitants made a pact with the devil, promising him the soul of the first person to cross it. However, the inhabitants tricked the devil by having a stray dog cross first, infuriating the devil who abandoned the bridge. Today, the bridge is a symbol of Dronero and offers a panoramic view of the town, representing an unmissable stop for those visiting the Maira Valley.
