タランタスカのおすすめツーリングルート

Villafalletto Castle dates back to around the year 1000, but was completely rebuilt around 1150, only to be demolished in 1537 following a treaty. Since then, the ruins have remained there, between the village and the Maira River. You can get there either from the main square, taking the right side street, or by continuing straight along the road that enters Villafalletto from Savigliano. From the traffic lights, the ruins are clearly visible. It's worth making a short detour to see them. -- [Ruins of Villafalletto Castle]

A stretch of road connecting the Rossana pass to the town of Busca, an alternative route to the provincial road and the road along the Maira. It offers stunning views of the plain and the Alps in the distance—as well as a lovely glimpse of a nearly hidden valley behind Busca, the existence of which I was unaware.

Ancient gateway to the city, with a beautiful Gothic arch in the mixed stone and brick masonry structure. From the outside it is inserted in a continuous belt of ancient houses; from the inside, it is accessed by a narrow street in turn flanked by the same ancient houses. Very picturesque.

Pedestrian bridge with spectacular arched structure. As the alternative name "Ponte Stretto" suggests, it is really narrow, and two additional bottlenecks at the two entrances further limit the passage. A bike can barely fit on it, and with side bags in my opinion it is difficult. However, it is worth crossing only to enjoy the view below, rather than as part of a route, so you can leave your bike at one end (perhaps the one on the upstream side, where the road is less busy), go around, and that's fine.

Bridge on a secondary road that connects provincial roads 160 and 24, cutting off traffic. Following the road you reach the sanctuary of San Mauro. Beautiful view of the Maira stream. A nature trail starts from the southern head of the bridge.

Beautiful town, with a historic center enclosed in three streets (which manage to be a maze of no entry signs).

Busca is a town at the foot of the morainic hills between the Maira and Varaita valleys. Precisely because of its position, it boasts a mild climate that has been appreciated since ancient times. The name appears for the first time in a document dating back to 1123. The town develops around the ancient historic center surrounded by walls, partly still visible.

Here you pedal on a compact and beautiful gravelly surface that will surely make you have fun. The Maira flows peacefully at your side and the fields of the Provinca Granda unfold green.
