베르네초 최고의 사이클링 경로

I passed by on Friday, September 5, 2025, and the entrance to the castle grounds was closed by a gate. I don't know if it's open to visitors on holidays. However, I bypassed it from the lower part.

Bridge on a secondary road that connects provincial roads 160 and 24, cutting off traffic. Following the road you reach the sanctuary of San Mauro. Beautiful view of the Maira stream. A nature trail starts from the southern head of the bridge.

Spectacular church, which is hard to see from the narrow streets of the center of Caraglio - but in front there is a street wide enough to allow a full view of the facade, finding the right angle. Structure between neoclassical and baroque, polychrome, with beautiful decorations, which makes a lot of impact.

Stunning building: former neo-Gothic spinning mill with turrets, perfectly restored. It houses a cultural foundation. It is very beautiful to see from a distance, but it is located at a fairly busy roundabout - viewing from a distance requires taking some risks. However, once you reach the center of the roundabout, it works as a life preserver, and you can have fun taking photos.

The Devil's Bridge in Dronero, built in 1428 over the Maira torrent, is a remarkable example of medieval civil engineering. This bridge has three arches of different sizes and is slightly curved, with lateral parapets surmounted by swallow-tailed Ghibelline battlements. Originally, on the pillar of the smaller arch towards the centre of Dronero, there was a drawbridge, whose iron hinge was found under the road surface; this was removed in 1810 when the entrance passage was widened and the Ghibelline battlements were restored. The name "Devil's Bridge" comes from a local legend: it is said that, to overcome the difficulties in building the bridge, the inhabitants made a pact with the devil, promising him the soul of the first person to cross it. However, the inhabitants tricked the devil by having a stray dog cross first, infuriating the devil who abandoned the bridge. Today, the bridge is a symbol of Dronero and offers a panoramic view of the town, representing an unmissable stop for those visiting the Maira Valley.

The Sanctuary of Sant'Anna di Roccabruna is closely linked to the partisan history of the Maira Valley. During the Resistance, the village of Sant'Anna was a constant garrison for the 104th Garibaldi Brigade, thanks to its strategic position that offered a panoramic view of the Dronero plain. Today, the sanctuary is the starting point for numerous paths that allow you to retrace the local history and the events of the partisan struggle.
