ニエッラ・タナロのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Breathtaking view, you can stop for a moment for a well-deserved refreshment.

San Bartolomeo, Niella Tanaro, along the Landandè path. Very ancient church, mentioned in a document from 1041, belonged to a Benedictine abbey, suppressed in the Napoleonic era. Well preserved, even if the probable use as a warehouse is evident.

Visible from afar, this shrine dominates a suggestive landscape of vineyards and rolling hills, a crossing point between the Alta Langa and the most famous Langa, that of the vineyards. The climb from Bastia Mondovì is gradual and never extreme, the landscape that gradually widens then repays the efforts. Bring water supplies because there is none to be found, furthermore the exposure of the road is almost all to the South. The visit to the shrine repays the small detour necessary to reach it.

Shrine of San Bernardo with a view, excellent for a stop

A wonderful panorama awaits you at this point.

The construction of the Shrine of St. Bernard dates back to the period 1947/1951. It was built on the highest hill in the area where, at that time, an elementary school and a small chapel stood. The work was financed with contributions from various organizations but above all thanks to the collaboration of many volunteers. In the churchyard, in the ossuary the bodies of eight partisans are collected and on the tombstones of the path of the Shrine are carved the names of about a thousand fallen in the struggle for liberation who, from September 1943 to April 1945 lost their lives in the Casotto valleys, Corsaglia, Ellero and in all the Langhe.
