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.

Very short climb with easy gradients, the views are stunning.

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.

Roof of the Langhe. From here (it is said) you can see the sea...

Cairo Montenotte is located almost at the head of the Bormida Valley, the starting point for reaching Lake Osiglia, the Melogno hill and, continuing towards Savona, the Cadibona hill. It is a beautiful town with a well-preserved historic center, dominated by a castle. By bike, if you continue towards Savona, it is advisable to cross the city center, to avoid getting stuck in the tunnel of the main road.

It is a beautiful climb in the Alta Langhe region. It starts from Campetto Bosasso, on the SP592 road, taking a small paved track where there is a sign that marks the start of the climb. It is 7.7 km with an average gradient of 4.5%. These figures are misleading as the first few km of the climb are quite hard, while the final part is practically flat. It reaches its peak when it reaches the SP230 road. It is a climb that I loved, in general like all those in the area, although this one has a special point due to the curves that the road traces and the views of the surrounding valleys.

In these areas you can find many medieval buildings still kept in good condition.

Small town with a wonderful hazelnut cream factory in the upper part of the town! Be sure to stop by the “cuor di nocciola delle langhe” and try the great products. What Ferrero started here in the town is lovingly continued organically and with a maximum of three ingredients.
