Tips from the Community
Wooden-floored bridge over the old road from Torre Pellice to Luserna Alta. In theory it is a drivable bridge, but the 1 t weight limit found on the Torre Pellice side makes it effectively a cycle-pedestrian bridge. (Strangely, the same limit is not found on the opposite side, where the 4.5 t limit remains.) The bridge provides access to the old road, which allows you to get from Torre Pellice to Luserna Alta avoiding the provincial road - at the cost of a couple of very, very impactful ramps, but offering in return a stretch with a stunning view of the lower valley and the distant plain.

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.

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.

Perhaps the oldest still existing Waldensian temple, it is a small building in the locality of Ciabàs, just above the road, with an explanatory sign summarizing its history. Inside (normally closed) are buried several prominent historical figures, including the famous Baron Von Leutrum, hero of the 18th-century siege of Cuneo, sung in the historic song "Baron Litron" (which, we recall, has nothing to do with "liters" of wine or similar modern amenities). You have to make a bit of an effort to get there, going up towards Angrogna, with some initially impactful ramps - but it is certainly worth the visit.

This Rifugio is only open during the weekends and in the summer season. If you're not certain of its availability, bring something to eat with you. 🌯
