Tips from the Community
Spectacular bell tower, built with a superstructure on an original medieval core. Disorienting and very scenic. Nearby, a chapel also interesting. A beautiful view of little-trafficked streets.

Beautiful exposed stone building, whose original construction dates back to the 14th century, and which appears not to have been too modified over time. Curious portal, with an arch that intersects the circular rose window, cutting its lower edge. The squat and square bell tower is the oldest part, and it shows. To get there you have to deviate from the provincial road for the Brondello pass, but it is absolutely worth it. While you're there, also visit the village, which is worth it.

Beautiful city with a medieval old town perched on the mountain, a beautiful late 19th-century promenade starting from the Gothic Cathedral (another beautiful point of interest), a spacious modern part, and several historical points of interest. Absolutely worth visiting.

Highest point of the road connecting Saluzzo to Venasca passing through Castellar, Pagno, Brondello, and Isasca. From the colletta you don't see much, but shortly before and shortly after there are beautiful landscapes. Impactful but not fatal climb.

Ascent from Venasca to the Brondello pass via Isasca. Impactful but not fatal. Beautiful village of Isasca, with an interesting stone church, simple but charming, and the narrow streets that cross it.

Cathedral of Saluzzo, stunning in its Gothic architecture, and located at the end of the main street of Saluzzo, which in turn is a small gem that must be visited.

Beautiful church nestled in a literally postcard-perfect landscape: the stone bridge, the road that rises beside it, the church standing out against the sky... A beautiful sight as you descend.
