Two of the most beautiful and technical descents in the area ... Fund practically perfect ... the herds have not yet climbed ...

The Cuneo Alps are a sweet embrace of mother nature: very green up to the top, they envelop your gaze with their soft and varied slopes. If you add to this expanses of flowers as far as the eye can see, woods and streams, this is the feeling that these mountains communicate to you: enchantment! So much wonder helps along …
