サンタルバーノストゥーラのおすすめツーリングルート

The town sits on a small rock, nestled on the right bank of the Belbo River, 555 meters above sea level. It is one of the most important hazelnut-producing centers.

Saint Gratus is venerated as the protector of fields from hail, lightning, floods, but also from drought and barn fires. Inside the chapel is an 18th-century altarpiece with the Madonna and Child, Saint Gratus, and Saint John the Evangelist.

In a splendid panoramic location, built of Langa stone, it is notable for the Baroque-style decoration of its brick façade. The building's design is attributed to Francesco Gallo, who worked in the Cuneo and Mondovì areas in the first half of the 18th century. The interior retains no decoration. The altar is noteworthy, the last vestige of the pre-existing building. This is evidenced by the fresco depicting the Madonna enthroned breastfeeding the Child, with Saint George, patron saint of Niella Belbo, at her side, dating to the late 15th century.

Along the cycle path of the Gesso and Stura River Park, behind the Cuneo cemetery, you come across this little house where a beekeeper offers his honey. It's completely open and unsupervised, giving people confidence. Just pick up the jar, read the price on the sheet inside, and pay with Satispay.

A nineteenth-century chapel, located near the crossroads at Bric Pedaggera (roads to Ceva, Montezemolo, and Alba). It enjoys a very panoramic location. The chapel is nestled in a very picturesque setting. The fresco above the entrance portal is interesting, depicting Saint Gratus deflecting a bolt of lightning into a well.

A small park centered around a giant bench and a heart-shaped sculpture. Picnic tables and a recently built café with restrooms are available. Unfortunately, there's no water fountain, but given the location, that's understandable. Beautiful views of the surrounding hills.

Terrace with stunning views of the surrounding hills. Perfect for a break.
