This evocative castle, which seems to have been taken over by Ireland, dates back to the 13th century and dominates the watershed between the Uzzone valley and the Bormida valley, in an extremely panoramic position that on sunny days allows you to look up to a good portion of the Alps, from the sea to the Monviso up to the more distant massifs of G. paradiso. There are several climbs, all long and satisfying, to reach Prunetto, perhaps the longest, but also the most satisfying, is the one that initially climbs from Cortemilia between dolcetto vineyards, then through woods and wide meadows, passing the municipalities of bergolo and Levice , up to the hill where the castle stands. Another, shorter climb starts from the town of Monesiglio, a beautiful medieval town that is worth a visit. From the nearby town of Gabuti (a hamlet of Camerana) another climb starts that leads to the town of Gottasecca and from here, with some rather hard tears, leads to Prunetto in about eight km of narrow asphalted road. from whichever side you go up, the view is guaranteed. The whole ride, rather tiring, is all on asphalt and for the most part on secondary roads with very little traffic, going through it on the contrary the climbs become less tiring overall.
