Discover Pradleves – Trails, Nature and Village History

Pradleves is a place where observing nature, physical activity, village history and local cheese production come together to create different kinds of holiday experiences. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Pradleves, you can plan your stay around long trails, a hike for families with children who are experienced hikers, special natural sites, historical destinations or insights into cheese production.

Nature among forests, meadows and caves

The Stazioni floristiche di Pradleves protect the only station of Linum narbonense in Piedmont. At the same time, they are a 13-hectare Site of Community Importance in the municipality of Pradleves. The Sentiero delle Leggende passes through an environment of dense forests, meadows, rural chapels, caves and artistic installations. The excursion also passes through the SIC station of calcicolous mosses in Comba Seviana and Comba Barmarossa. A distinctive natural destination is Barma grande, a natural cave approximately 40 metres wide where stalactites and stalagmites can still be found.

Trails for different kinds of holiday days

The Curnis is a circular trail more than 40 kilometres long through the municipalities of Monterosso Grana and Pradleves. The Anello Borgate di Pradleves circular route includes a technically demanding descent at Podio Sottano that is suitable for enduro riders. The Un “balcone” sulla valle hiking trail is suitable for families with children who are already accustomed to hiking. In June, a guided tour to discover wild alpine orchids is offered on the Montagna dei Tigli in Pradleves. The range therefore extends from long circular trails and challenging descents to a family-oriented hike and a seasonal nature tour.

Village history and cultural impressions

The parish of San Ponzio was founded in 1610 after being separated from the parish of San Pietro alla Villa di Monterosso. Barmo Capitani is a structure with strongly archaic features. The documentary film “Pradievi: Un viaggio tra borgate, volti e racconti” is about the memories and traditions of the place, conveyed through the voices of its residents. The Santuario Madonna degli angeli is located along the Sentiero delle Leggende at an altitude of 1,127 metres above sea level. In this way, the history of Pradleves can be discovered through specific buildings and ecclesiastical development as well as through memories and trails with cultural points of interest.
