Tips from the Community
On the valley floor road, in the Figeirosa hamlet, bridge over the Angrogna stream, with a characteristic pedestrian walkway on one side. The complex of the bridge and the houses behind it against the backdrop of woods and mountains offers a beautiful sight. Since you are not climbing very fast anyway, it is worth enjoying it.

The name of the hamlet is a clear reference to the waters that flow copiously here, and which were certainly used in the past to produce work. As a testament and memory of this activity, a mill wheel adorns the side of a house - it could even be the mill itself, preserved and restored, but in that case the feeder channel has completely disappeared. Anyway, a beautiful sight.

The historical heart of the Waldensian faith. A simple and austere temple, like all Protestant temples: here one comes to pray, not to show off that we are richer than our neighbors. Nevertheless, the structure is very beautiful. Panoramic position, with a beautiful view of the valley (and of the Catholic church further down). The fountain in front of the entrance is beautiful and convenient. The WC (always open) on the valley side is also convenient. Access to the structure is protected by a small gate, which is however always open - remember to close it after passing. [Attention upon entering on the right: currently (May 2026) one of the retaining walls of the embankment has collapsed, and the terrace towards the mountain is widely roped off, you can barely pass.] The actual temple, however, is normally closed, because it's fine to trust, but there's a limit. The tombstones on the walls of the entrance vestibule are interesting. You really breathe an air of a sacred place, which I have found in few other places.

When Edmondo de Amicis found himself writing a (beautiful) chapter on Torre Pellice, he titled it "The Geneva of Italy". And perhaps he could not have found a better title. It truly feels like being in Switzerland, for the order, the cleanliness, and especially the silence: I don't know what's in the air, but even the people at the bar chat in hushed tones. It's a town that lives in its own dimension, perhaps brought by the Waldensian religion - or perhaps the Waldensian religion has molded itself to the characteristics of what is its capital, who knows. In any case, absolutely worth visiting.

This is the point where one of the steepest ramps of the climb ends, a real relief on the dirt road. The surface is still good, but the slopes make gravel very difficult. In autumn, the colors offer a magnificent spectacle.
