ペッツォーロヴァッレウズゾーンのおすすめランニングルート

Merana is a small Piedmontese village in the province of Alessandria, on the border with Liguria. The municipality is known for two monuments, both located on the San Fermo hill: the church of Santa Maria Assunta and the Tower of San Fermo.

The Tower of San Fermo in Merana is located at the top of the hill of the same name and is built with the typical Langa stone. 25 meters high, it dominates the town with its imposing presence.

Very similar to the Ciciu di Villar, they look like large mushrooms with a stem made of earth and a stone cap

It is a dialect word that originates from the fusion of "muròn" (large face) and riònd (round). Muriòn: big round face. The walls are formed as a result of selective erosion that tends to "preserve" the hardest and most compact sandstone blocks and to "consume" more of the more friable sandy sandstone.

The charming village of Bergolo is called the "stone town" because all the houses have been renovated using sandstone. The Romanesque chapel of San Sebastiano is a place of great historical and artistic importance: it dates back to the twelfth century and is located on a very panoramic hill over the Bormida and Uzzone valleys.

Bergolo is a very small town in the province of Cuneo located in the Langhe, on the border between Piedmont and Liguria, on the ridge between the Bormida and Uzzone valleys.

In the historic center, the houses of the village house, externally, dozens of works of art (murals, paintings and sculptures) left by the artists who took part in the “Bèrgolo: stone village” competition.

This evocative castle, which seems to have been taken over by Ireland, dates back to the 13th century and dominates the watershed between the Uzzone valley and the Bormida valley, in an extremely panoramic position that on sunny days allows you to look up to a good portion of the Alps, from the sea to the Monviso up to the more distant massifs of G. paradiso. There are several climbs, all long and satisfying, to reach Prunetto, perhaps the longest, but also the most satisfying, is the one that initially climbs from Cortemilia between dolcetto vineyards, then through woods and wide meadows, passing the municipalities of bergolo and Levice , up to the hill where the castle stands. Another, shorter climb starts from the town of Monesiglio, a beautiful medieval town that is worth a visit. From the nearby town of Gabuti (a hamlet of Camerana) another climb starts that leads to the town of Gottasecca and from here, with some rather hard tears, leads to Prunetto in about eight km of narrow asphalted road. from whichever side you go up, the view is guaranteed. The whole ride, rather tiring, is all on asphalt and for the most part on secondary roads with very little traffic, going through it on the contrary the climbs become less tiring overall.
