-------------

Paths of all types and difficulties cross green pastures, forests, streams and plateaus lead you up to the many peaks, alpine lakes, hills, crosses placed on the highest peaks, flora rich in variety, fauna present everywhere.

The Maira Valley is a concentration of wonders, and trekking and ski mountaineering are the best ways to discover them.

Morinesio is an enchanted place where the harmony of the village blends perfectly with the surrounding nature. The rough stone and wooden houses look like buildings from another time, although they are equipped with all the ordinary comforts of town houses. No cars circulate; the narrow streets are in natural and calatà (local knife-laid stone pavement).

A ten-minute walk away towers the shrine of Santa Maria di Morinesio set on the ridge of a deep cliff on the southeastern side and surrounded by gentle meadow and flower-filled slopes on the northwestern slopes.

Varied trekking and mountain biking routes and, in winter, ski mountaineering, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Tours through the ancient paths of the valley dwellers who once populated the various hamlets located on the mountain sides in large numbers. Roads, once military, dating back to the Savoy, smugglers' trails, salt routes, GTA trails. At 6 km, the Cavalline pass - 2000 m asl - through which you reach Elva, one of the pearls of the Maira Valley, or, continuing to climb to 2500 m asl, the Sampeyre pass with a descent into the Varaita Valley.

Guided tours of the area's ancient churches, built from the year 1000 onward, evidence of the great artistic heritage (architectural, pictorial, stonework) of the Maira Valley.

The main axis of the Maira Valley ends upstream with the village of Chiappera; on the right you can admire the spectacular Stroppia waterfalls. Together with the Sorgenti del Maira, the Stroppia Waterfalls and Provenzale-Castello Group area has been recognized at the national and community levels as having great naturalistic importance and rare scenic beauty. From the Stroppia Falls, which with thunderous leaps descend from the mountain performing a unique spectacle that lasts from June to early August, the Maurin, Stroppia and Infernetto valleys branch off surrounded by the highest peaks in the valley.

In summer, donkeys and alpacas are raised for trekking with animals in tow.

Bicycles and e-bikes are rented by reservation.

There is a playground equipped for toddlers and youngsters, with board games (table soccer, ping pong), volleyball court, bocce ball. Group games are organized for kids and adults (sack race, piñata breaking, tug of war, ec...)
