On the hills around Spineto Scrivia, this panoramic point is located in the Rampina area and offers great views of the surrounding hills, vineyards and woods. The cart track here is wide and has a simple gravel, also very suitable for gravel bikes.

The Sanctuary of Cà del Bello or Madonna della Neve is located in the municipality of Borghetto di Borbera. Founded in 1672, it was renovated several times, the first in 1757, the second in 1868 before being completed in 1900. The two side naves were completed in 1940 also thanks to donations from emigrants to South America. It is named after the Madonna della Neve, which is celebrated on 5 August with Mass at the Sanctuary and a procession.
