トッラッツァコステのおすすめランニングルート

A beautiful experience reaching Varzi from Voghera, all surrounded by greenery and along the Staffora.

The Oltrepò Pavese is a vast geographical area south of the Po, in the province of Pavia. Vineyards of red and white grapes reign in this varied territory, where numerous villages with enchanting charm are located and there is an abundance of options for lovers of DOC wine.

Here a splendid view of the Oltrepò Pavese hills opens up from the very pleasant Voghera-Varzi Greenway, between Voghera and Codevilla on the old railway track that once connected the towns of Val Staffora.

Characteristic village in the Oltrepò hills, it is also worth a visit on foot.

In the ranking of the Villages of Italy with full merit

One of the most beautiful villages in Italy, in the heart of the Oltrepo Pavese. The small town of Fortunago (Fortünagh in Oltrepadano dialect) has just under 400 inhabitants, and stands at 483 m above sea level on the hills that divide the Coppa and Ardivestra valleys, surrounded by lush nature made up of cultivated fields, woods and vineyards. The name reveals the Celtic origins of the place: Fortunacus has the ending -aco which is a contraction of mag, or "house by a water". In fact there is a perennial source of water here. According to others, the name refers to the goddess Fortuna, in memory of a temple dedicated to the pagan deity [source: borghipiubelliditalia.it]. Around Fortunago there are 400 hectares of protected forest, with marked routes, within an even larger hilly area, with small villages, ancient parish churches, castles (including the nearby Stefanago at the foot of which stands the renowned Stuvenagh artisan brewery - www.stuvenagh.com), the infinite vines, but above all the roads of wines and flavors of the Oltrepò Pavese.
