It is located at the Albergo Ristorante Commercio in Roccaforte Mondovì (Borgata Norea 8, phone 0174.65549), which also features a spacious e-bike room. A similar e-bike room is also available at the Hotel Ristorante Reale in Lurisia Via Terme 13, phone 0174.583005).
A varied loop trail, mostly on dirt roads, that passes by nearly all of Roccaforte Mondovì’s iconic landmarks, connecting its flat outskirt toward Villanova Mondovì with the first Alpine foothills leading to Monte Pigna—an extraordinary vantage point overlooking the Cuneo plain and the western Alps.
Near Lurisia—famous for its thermal spa, whose healing properties were discovered by Marie Curie herself—be sure to visit the Sanctuary of Sant'Anna (the only example of French Baroque architecture among Piedmont’s sacred buildings) and the foothills of Borgata Prea, a village clinging to the mountainside and famous for its Living Nativity Scene.
