Descrizione
The Bronda Valley Trek represents an innovation compared to the most famous and renowned loop hikes in the province of Cuneo, but the "Cenerentola" ("Cinderella") offers everyone, in the horseshoe-shaped journey along its wooded ridges, the possibility of enjoying relaxing views, getting to know its ancient and precious artistic heritage and smelling the intense scent of the forest. A valley of modest dimensions and altitudes, located at the gates of Saluzzo, wedged between the beginning of the Po Valley on one side and the Varaita Valley on the other, crossed by the Bronda stream. An authentic treasure chest of art and history starting from the country chapel of San Ponzio, the Castellar Castle dating back to the 14th century built on a spur, the Clock Tower overlooking Brondello with the ancient medieval arched stone bridge. The proposed route leads the hiker first on the sunny side and then on the more shady one of the valley, through a path constantly at high altitudes on the intervalley ridges, from which it descends only to reach the reception facilities located in the three villages of Castellar, Pagno and Brondello. A loop hike which is walkable for most of the year and suitable for everyone given the type of bottom, its course and the length of the well marked individual stages. The VBT also represents a worthy mountain-bike loop hike given the many dirt roads and mule tracks that will certainly meet the expectations of all bikers.
