    The itinerary retraces the ancient mule tracks of the Maira Valley which, in the past, connected the villages located on the steep mountain slopes. Along the route there are countless Romanesque and Gothic artistic and architectural emergencies, dating back to the period of the Marquisate of Saluzzo starting from the 12th century and enhanced by the traditional Occitan culture present in three states (Italy, France, Spain). The path is marked by wooden panels and yellow notches.

    Author’s recommendation

    Along the way there are refuges, stopping places and inns with typical Occitan dishes. The sherpabus is a service for transporting luggage along the Occitan route and the connecting itineraries with other Italian-French valleys.
