The Pesio Valley stands out for the beauty and the extension of the woods and for the variety in flora and fauna due to its rich vegetation. Situated in the province of Cuneo, in the heart of the Ligurian Alps, the Pesio Valley is a border territory with snowy peaks and first Mediterranean influences. It is dominated by the Marguareis Mountain, the highest peak of the Ligurian Alps, where the massif is characterized by one of the most important karstic systems of the western Alpine arc.

The valley is visited by sportsmen, mountaineers, speleologists, who have made it an international attraction destination, but more in general by all the lovers of nature who are looking for a direct and essential contact with the environment or who want to find an oasis of peace and silence in the shadow of the century-old Carthusian monastery.

At the foot of the Valley, the Municipality of Chiusa di Pesio welcomes the visitors in the characteristic old centre. From here you can start following cultural routes, food-and-wine itineraries and walks or rides in the nearby woods among archaeological finds, nineteenth-century hunting villas, antique fortification ruins, churches and country chapels.
