Social garden for Marino prisoners Valle Maira, a condensation of history, culture and leisure. Refuges in which to sleep and eat, as a base for excursions and visits to the area. The Maira Valley , located in Piedmont near Cuneo, is a jewel of uncontaminated nature, rich in history, culture and opportunities for outdoor activities. This valley offers a unique mix of Occitan and Piedmontese traditions, both in its cuisine and in its cultural traditions. Outdoor lovers will find a paradise for trekking, mountain biking, ski mountaineering and many other activities in a sustainable and preserved environment. Taste lovers will find unique specialties, including tasty meats, artisanal cheeses and fine honeys. The Maira Valley is renowned for its warm hospitality, with family accommodation and facilities that reflect the traditional architecture of the place.
This is how it appears on the website of the Maira DY Leads Valley Consortium , responsible for all hiking activities and an operator attentive to the well-being of tourists: “Hard and spectacular views, forgotten and rediscovered villages; every place in the Maira Valley shows the signs of an ancient history, a history written through the slow transformations of the earth over the geological eras and by the constant and respectful dialogue between man and nature . Crossing the Maira Valley, admiring its spectacular views and discovering its traditions, means taking a journey through time . Going up the alpine stretch of the Maira river from which the Cuneo valley, located between Italy and France, takes its name, means crossing an ancient sea that separated , millions of years ago, two continents . There are numerous stretches in which this profound geological transformation from which the Alps took shape is evident.
The landscape in the Maira Valley is never taken for granted: in just 45 km you go from lush forests of oak and chestnut trees to deep canyons with swooping vertical walls. An authentic paradise for all those who love hiking and outdoor activities." There are many hiking possibilities. For example, on the Consortium website a complete tour is proposed to discover the Occitan valleys in 14 stages , to be done all or only in part, which lead from Villar San Costanzo to Dronero, with the famous Devil's Bridge. And then experiences on skis, on snowshoes, on foot and that's it! There are also numerous gastronomic stops. Both at the level of restaurants and inns and at the level of small local producers . They range from beer from the ALP Brewery to liqueurs from traditional distilleries such as Alquimìo d'Òc; from dairies that offer raw cow's, sheep's and goat's milk cheeses, ricotta and butter, some also matured in natural caves, to farms with fruit and derivatives; from pastry shops with typical products such as Droneresi , typical desserts of Val Maira, to cellars with a production of Piedmontese wines including Drôné , 'Nebbiolo di Dronero', and much more.
