Go to Valle della Pirenta along the hillside that leads to Cascine Pietra. Go past SP 457, then take the road that passes behind the company “Fassa Bortolo”. Now you are very close to “La Pirenta”, a sulphur spring known for its depurative and curative properties. Behind the company, the route continues along fields and farmlands for about 3 km and passes through the hamlet of Perrona, until it intersects with Via Montiglio. Take it and then take the small street that leads to Valle di Castell’Alfero. On the way you will see Gioia Lake where it is possible to do sport fishing. Go past the lake, keep going for about 400 metres until you reach a small bridge where Valle river flows underneath. Go down Via Valle for about 300 metres until it intersects with Via Casale. Turn right, go straight, and turn left after 100 metres.
The historic centre of the village is known for Piazza Castello, where the castle belonging to Earls Amico is home to the City Hall. In its tunnels there is a museum of peasant life named “Il Ciar”, which can be visited with prior booking. This square is adorned by public gardens with breathtaking views of Monferrato hills.
