a week in Val Grande along the Stura banks
(Groscavallo (TO)- Piemonte)

If Turin is considered a magic city what could we say about the mountains around?
Well, I’ve been guest for a week at Pialpetta and I discovered that also its mountains are magic.
Maybe little-known and not much popular, except a few places, but not less charming.
The traditional housing of the mountain region communities is well in keeping with the woods.
Woods where the green of the foliage mixes with the brown of the brush and with the austere grey of the stones spotted with moss, among the tweet of the birds and the bubbling of limpid waters.
Wandering through the paths, after a bend, you expect to meet a druid inviting you to a suggestive pagan rite.

With its territory, the town of Groscavallo fills up the end of the Val Grande; it is cradled in a green picturesque hollow, surrounded by superb heights as the Uja of Ciamarella, the Uja of Gura and the Eastern Levanna, with peaks exceeding the 11,150 ft above sea level.

The gold, iron and silver mines are abandoned since decades: scattered all around the valley, they were the main source of income for the inhabitants. Today the main activity is the stock rearing, favoured by the wide, rich alpine pastures and consequently the dairy production (especially the renowned "Toma 'd Lans").
