Villar San Costanzo is a charming village located at the foot of Mount San Bernardo, at the beginning of the Maira Valley. This town is known for the "Ciciu del Villar" Nature Reserve, where you can admire particular mushroom-shaped geological formations, called "ciciu", created by erosion over the centuries. The village also boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage. Do not miss the Church of San Costanzo al Monte, a rare example of a religious building with two overlapping floors in Romanesque-Gothic style, which preserves an evocative crypt. Furthermore, the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli, part of the ancient Benedictine abbey founded in the 7th century, is embellished with 15th-century frescoes by the painter Pietro da Saluzzo and has a crypt dating back to the 11th century. Outdoor enthusiasts can follow the route from Monte Pagliano to San Costanzo, a marked route equipped with rest areas and e-bike charging points, which invites you to discover the area in a sustainable way and in contact with nature. Villar San Costanzo is an ideal destination for those who want to immerse themselves in nature, history and Piedmontese traditions, offering unique experiences among uncontaminated landscapes and testimonies of the past.

Balmascura Cave Inside a precious spring of water flows constantly. In front of the cave, about 20 meters away, the majestic balconies with engraved domes of the Massi Isoardi begin, above the cave there are numerous engraved domes. The second anthropomorphic specimen discovered in the immediate vicinity of this cave suggests that in that distant time it was the home of the shaman (or the) shaman or priest or “king” who succeeded one another in these places and were most likely the creators of those many domes and figures present on the site.

Beautiful ... it deserves the walk suitable for everyone

Narrow sheer walls lead to the alabaster quarries, and as soon as you enter the temperature drops drastically as the sun's rays are unable to reach this small passage. There are two different ones, at different altitudes. They are worth a visit

Departure from the sanctuary of Sant'Anna. 2h and 20 to get up, walking with a calm step. I recommend taking the left fork on the outward journey (less steep) and going down the steepest path on the way back. Immediately below the village of Sant'Anna there is a highly recommended hotel restaurant. Delicious aperitif, magnificent view and super welcome!

Pay attention to the descent on stones and leaves,

You can make a loop starting from the road of the cannons, and in about an hour and a half complete it to climb to the top of the panoramic Roccerè. It is located about halfway between the easy peaks of San Bernardo and Birrone
