You can use the path to reach the final stretch that leads to the Vaccera refuge and the pass, without going through the paved road, some sections with steep slopes, but a nice route in the middle of the woods to be done both by mountain bike and on foot.

Gheisa d'la Tana Cave

Highlight • Cave

The Gheisa d’la Tana is a natural cavity located in Val d’Angrogna, a side valley of Val Pellice, particularly known for its history linked to the Waldensian community. The name, which in Piedmontese means "Church of the Tana", recalls the use that the Waldensians made of it during the period of religious persecution, when they clandestinely celebrated religious functions in this natural hiding place.

The cave is located in a wooded area on the left side of the valley and can be reached via a short hiking trail, marked and suitable for everyone.

Church of San Martino

Highlight • Religious Site

Pleasant religious complex, dating back to the mid-19th century, owned by the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus. The square in front has a charging point for electric bikes, and it's a nice place for a break. Also noteworthy, on the square in front, is the memorial monument to King Charles Albert.
