살루초 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Verzuolo Castle is very beautiful, surrounded by ghost stories and strange voices that can be heard at night... I would say it is a fabulous castle 👻👻👻👻

very nice to pass through here on the way to Santa Cristina

Going to Castellar without passing by the castle is impossible 🤪

Visited in late April, I can confirm the overall good condition of the little church with its fountain and barbecue. The uphill path through the woods is flooded in many sections with a fair amount of mud.

Verzuolo, located in the Varaita Valley, boasts a medieval village rich in history and architecture. The castle, built in 1377 by the Marquis Federico II of Saluzzo on the ruins of a previous fortress from the 11th century, dominates the town from above. The village preserves medieval elements, such as decorated peaks and terracotta friezes from the 15th century, as well as a house with a typical Gothic structure. The parish church of Saints Philip and James, built in the 18th century, houses significant works of art, including a fresco depicting the "Pietà" dated 1422. The recent history of Verzuolo is linked to the Burgo paper mill, founded at the beginning of the 20th century by the engineer Luigi Burgo, who contributed to the economic development of the area.

Off Road trail exit in Verzuolo

Off Road start, smooth upper part with some more challenging sections.

The culmination of a tough climb and the start of a crazy network of beautiful downhill trails. Highly recommended place.
