After a few metres, if you want to avoid the asphalted road, turn left and follow the traces of the old road, passing by a ruined stone house and then rejoin the asphalted road at the roadmenders’house. At the junction with the Roccaverano - San Giorgio Scarampi provincial road, turn right and then descend along the provincial road to the next junction where you turn left. Now follow the red and white signs up to the charming village of Roccaverano, set amidst its sandstone houses. As you climb a stone staircase, you will see to your left a small wall entirely covered with saxifrage.

Tour of the Five Towers
This loop trail starts from Monastero Bormida, and connects the medieval towers of Monastero Bormida, San Giorgio Scarampi, Olmo Gentile, Roccaverano and Vengore. The towers of Perletto, Denice and Castelletto d'Erro are also clearly visible along the route. All these towers used to form the defence line of the Marquisate of the Carretto family who, at that time, had control over a large part of the Langhe and the Ligurian Apennines to protect against Saracen invasions.
