Route of Occitan Piedmont

This 7-stage route takes place in Val Maira, one of the four valleys of Occitan Piedmont. This mountainous valley, devoid of ski resorts, has successfully showcased its cultural heritage. Numerous stone hamlets with slate-roofed houses have been restored. In these valleys, every effort is made to give hikers a warm welcome.

Since 1992, a very well-signposted route has offered a wide choice of stopover lodges where Occitan cuisine is served.
