Tips from the Community
Beautiful village, cut off by the ring road but perfect to visit by bike. The main church has a huge fresco on the facade, and beautiful Gothic terracotta details. Next door, the Confraternita del Gonfalone is also interesting. Here and there, other points of interest: frescoes, smaller chapels, alleys and stairways, the portico of the old market (with a Ventennio inscription and a plaque to the Fallen), medieval gates. Absolutely worth visiting.

Church dedicated to Santa Maria degli Angeli in the historic center of Manta. A neoclassical building with a façade decorated with pilasters and niches containing statues of saints. Very interesting. -- [Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli (Manta)]

Even today you can see the excavations of the lime quarry. You can find an information panel that reports an episode narrated in 1883 by Aurelio Stella, professor of mineralogy at the Polytechnic of Turin, to the students during a visit to the Varaita Valley. In addition, you will find some interesting information and testimonies of a family about their life in the valley, between departures and returns through the woods.

Monte Pagliano is almost a thousand meters high, reaching 989 meters above sea level. Its summit is covered by a rich forest where several really fun MTB trails branch off. We recommend that you pedal a few more times to reach the beautiful panoramic point just beyond the summit from which you can admire Monviso, Monte San Bernardo and many other peaks.
