About this place

Gravel bed in the riverbed - a gravel bottom where locals sometimes stand with a Fiat Ducato. However, the area requires an off-road vehicle; a camper will fit too, but it will be tight. Several fire pits scattered around the area. Standing here is tolerated. You are at an altitude of 1651 meters in Piedmont, between the Stura and Maira valleys, in the shadow of Monte Oserot. At night, the sky has a Bortle 4 brightness - stars are clearly visible, although it is not complete darkness. In the area, you will hear water larks, and if you are attentive, you may spot chamois and griffon vultures. The cellular network works here without any problems.
