ヴェナスカのおすすめツーリングルート

'l Purtun, in Italian "The Gate," in Rossana. This is the ancient gateway to the artisans' and carters' quarter, dating back to the time of the Gazelli counts. Well restored and with an explanatory sign beside it, it is located on the main road that runs through the village, with a tiny square in front featuring benches and interesting wooden statues. To enjoy it, you have to turn off the main road and enter Rossana, but it's absolutely worth the effort. -- ['l Purtun (Rossana)]

Chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony, in Piasco. Dependent on the nearby (and modern) church of Saint Anthony, the chapel dates back to the 16th century but has been remodeled several times over time. The row of kidney-shaped windows surrounding it is interesting. Easily reached on the old road from Piasco to Venasca, now used only by sparse local traffic.

A beautiful Gothic church with a huge, highly unusual fresco on the façade. The interior is also spectacular. You wouldn't expect it in a mountain village.

Starting point for beautiful hikes to Valmala, Pian Pietro, Colle di Sampeyre, and Elva. There's a restaurant and bar in the square.

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.

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

Situated in an elevated position above the town of Manta. It offers a pleasant view of the city and the Saluzzo plain
