Where nature, art and memory meet

Heart of the very green and homonymous Valley, the municipality counts nowadays 3700 inhabitants and is only 14 km away from Cuneo. Its territory presents a difference in altitude  which goes from 575 m of the built-up area to over 2600 m of the Upper Valley.

Characterized by a historical centre which preserves interesting palaces and religious buildings and by an antique and consolidated artisan tradition, the built-up area offers various visit occasions. Besides the famous Certosa, you can visit the ruins of the Mirabello castle with the Roman finds, the ruins of the Church of Saint Andrew, testimony of the first Christianity, the Parish Church and the neoclassic nineteenth-century Castle of Mombrisone.

There is a wide choice of museums with the Museum of the Glass and Crystal Factory Organisation and Ceramics of Chiusa, the Resistance Museum and the Photographic Michele Pellegrino Collection.
