ブスカのおすすめランニングルート

A stretch of road connecting the Rossana pass to the town of Busca, an alternative route to the provincial road and the road along the Maira. It offers stunning views of the plain and the Alps in the distance—as well as a lovely glimpse of a nearly hidden valley behind Busca, the existence of which I was unaware.

Beautiful old church, in a very panoramic position on the Cuneo plain. The climbs to get there have ramps at the limit of legality, but it is worth it.

Even today you can see the excavations of the lime quarry. You can find an information panel that reports an episode narrated in 1883 by Aurelio Stella, professor of mineralogy at the Polytechnic of Turin, to the students during a visit to the Varaita Valley. In addition, you will find some interesting information and testimonies of a family about their life in the valley, between departures and returns through the woods.

Monte Pagliano is almost a thousand meters high, reaching 989 meters above sea level. Its summit is covered by a rich forest where several really fun MTB trails branch off. We recommend that you pedal a few more times to reach the beautiful panoramic point just beyond the summit from which you can admire Monviso, Monte San Bernardo and many other peaks.

From here there are various paths towards Busca or Rossana, Morra del Villar

Old quarry along the dirt road for costigliole

Located at the entrance to the Varaita Valley, Costigliole Saluzzo is a charming medieval village that combines history, culture and food and wine traditions. The town is dominated by three castles: the Castello Rosso, the Castello Reynaudi and the "Castellotto", which testify to the historical importance of the town. Among the notable buildings are the Palazzo Giriodi di Monastero, currently the town hall, and the Palazzo Sarriod de La Tour, which houses the municipal library and exhibition spaces. The parish church of Santa Maria Maddalena preserves in its crypt the "Cristo di Pietà", attributed to the Flemish painter Hans Clemer. Walking through the narrow streets of the historic center, you can admire picturesque views and ancient architecture that tell centuries of history. The surrounding area is renowned for the production of fruit, in particular the round Costigliole apricot and the Quagliano grape, from which a fine red wine is obtained.

Reynaudi Castle, located in Costigliole Saluzzo (Cuneo), is one of the three castles that dominate the hills of the town. Built at the beginning of the 17th century by Giovanni Michele Crotti and completed by his son Carlo, the first Count of Costigliole, the castle stands on the ruins of the ancient Rocca dei Costanzia, destroyed in 1487. The structure has a polygonal plan, defended by three corner towers, and is surrounded by a large park. In 1693, during the retreat towards Turin, the French army devastated Costigliole Saluzzo, leaving only six buildings intact, including the castle. At the beginning of the 20th century, the building was purchased by Admiral Leone Reynaudi, from whom it takes its current name.
