RING OF VALDESIAN VALLEY

The itinerary develops in a ring, in 8 stages, on the municipalities of Angrogna, Bobbio Pellice, Rora ‘, Torre Pellice and Villar Pellice for a total length of about 120 km. Many of these paths are strongly connected with local history: the Waldensian history of which these mountains have been the scene for centuries, the connections with France to ensure trade, the Resistance during the Second World War. The mountain environment has favored the persistence of ancient traditional and cultural expressions. Popular traditions, customs, the way of living and relating to the surrounding environment have ancient origins and the cultural, religious and linguistic variety of the territory translates into a heritage of traditions that makes these valleys a land rich in forms expressive. In the area there are several museums that testify to the various aspects that characterized the culture of the valleys.
