very pleasant and easy to cycle climb from Cuorgnè

Beautiful waterfall on the road to Fondo. Visible from the road...

As Stefano wrote above, the town is built with the mountain techniques of the past centuries: stone and lime. If you are also a good eater, you cannot ignore the recipe for "zuppa di ajucche" from Valchiusella, a traditional dish of the region, made with a wild herb called "ajucche" (or "ajucche" in the local dialect). The typical recipe involves cooking bread, ajucche, and a mature mountain cheese, in overlapping layers, and then moistened with the cooking water of the herbs...

To think that this bridge is hundreds of years old and has resisted who knows how many floods of the stream. It is a beautiful structure. However, it is not Roman, I asked the restaurant managers and (if I remember correctly) it is from 1500 but it does not matter: it was built in a period in which without structural calculations they still managed to create works of inexplicable beauty...

In reality, this place is not so "flat" because, from when the slopes become less steep to when the descent begins, there will not even be a hundred meters ... but the environment is superb, high mountain, and makes up for the road that, especially towards Frassinetto, is not in such good condition. There is nothing, not a bar, not a fountain ... but it is worth stopping and admiring the splendid panorama. Going up from Frassinetto the slope, after the village, becomes discontinuous and challenging, more gradual if you go up from Colleretto Castelnuovo, where the road alternates beautiful hairpin bends in the woods ... however, it is not a gift from this side either!

Leaving aside the chaos of the center, it is a pleasant city, rich in history and ideas for trekking and/or cycling.

They are located in Valchiusella after Traversella

It is the main town of the Orco Valley. It is a small town with an interesting historical center. From here up, the road does not stop climbing.
