Mansarda san defendente di Cervasca

The cluster is in the plain at the foot of the Maritime Alps, with the Cottian Alps also closing the western horizon. The Stura di Demonte and the Gesso meet at Cuneo, and the valleys of both rivers open directly into the mountains within a short drive. The Parco fluviale Gesso e Stura runs along the rivers by the town. Limone Piemonte is the nearest ski area, about 30–40 minutes up the Vermenagna valley. Cuneo is the nearest town of size and has a long arcaded centre, services, rail links and the large Piazza Galimberti. The area is known for the wedge-shaped plateau between the rivers and for access to several Alpine valleys rather than for a single protected landmark inside the immediate radius.
