Holiday apartment in Montaldo Bormida amid trails and viewpoints

Parco Dotto is a garden dating from the early years of the 20th century. Its viewing terrace offers views over the Rio Stanavazzo valley and the Apennines. If you value landscapes and expansive views during your holiday, this is one of the obvious destinations to include in your plans.

The “Avsein au rian” Percorso Verde connects Montaldo Bormida with Trisobbio. The route begins at Parco Dotto and ends at the Piscine di Trisobbio. The Cascina Quaglia e Budello circular trail leads to Cascina Quaglia, a viewpoint over the small valleys southwest of Montaldo Bormida. Descending, it passes through a woodland of hazelnut, poplar and wild cherry trees to the hamlet of Scopitta.

The Praielle Percorso runs on level ground between cultivated fields, vineyards and woodland along the valley path connecting Carpeneto with Montaldo Bormida. The routes therefore already differ in their course and surroundings. A cycling tour through the hills of Montaldo Bormida involves MTB, EMTB and gravel bikes. The Centro sportivo has tennis courts, a football pitch for seven- or eleven-a-side matches, a playground and an adjacent dog area. If you are travelling with children or a dog, you can include these facilities in your daily plans.

Historic Buildings and Local Experiences

The Chiesa parrocchiale di San Michele Arcangelo was built from 1686 onwards. The year 1600 is inscribed on the stone architrave of the Oratorio della S.S.

Montaldo Bormida therefore offers several specific starting points for days spent exploring architectural history and local culture.
