The main cities
Borgo San Dalmazzo
This town with an important historic past is a lively centre full of events famous also outside its natural borders. The first one is unmissable for all those who love snails, protagonists of the traditional Cold Fair. The second one is dedicated to the greenery, the environment and the truly unique nature of its neighbouring valleys.
Demonte
It is a very ancient Alpine village that was and still is an important communication hub between the high Occitan valleys. Thanks to a road that can be travelled by car, it allows the ascent to the valley of the Arma and then the Colle del Mulo and Esischie.
Here you can practice various types of sports such as rafting or horseback riding in summer and ski touring or snowshoe trekking in winter.
Vinadio
It is a municipality located in the Alta Valle Stura di Demonte, to the left of the stream, on the cone of confluence of the Neraissa valley. It is famous for its baths, a large spa, whose sulphur water is a panacea against rheumatism.
