Elogio dei Ciciu senza cappello a Villar San Costanzo

A visit to the Ciciu del Villar Nature Reserve can be combined with a loop ride through the foothill countryside between Dronero and Busca, around the Maira Stream. A loop that allows you to combine the creativity of nature with that of humans: the battlemented bridge of Dronero, the sanctuaries of Santa Maria Delibera and San Costanzo al Monte (a national monument), the parish church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Villar San Costanzo.

A short but varied route on quiet country roads with gentle gradients, an ideal complement to the visit to the Ciciu Nature Reserve. The steepest climb occurs when accessing the Sanctuary of San Costanzo al Monte.
