Cumiana

Cumiana sits at the foot of the Cottian Alps, where the plain around Pinerolo rises into the first wooded valleys and ridges of the lower Chisone-Sangone area. The Noce stream runs through the area and the Chisola rises nearby on the slopes above the town. The Monte Tre Denti–Freidour Regional Natural Park lies partly in the commune, protecting the wooded ridge between Cumiana and Val Noce. The nearest substantial mountain skiing is in the upper Val Chisone around Pragelato and Sestriere, roughly an hour or more by road, so it is not part of the immediate landscape. Pinerolo is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services, a railway connection and a historic centre. The area is known locally for its position between the Turin plain and the first Alpine valleys, with chestnut woods, lower mountain pastures and walking routes on Monte Freidour and Tre Denti.
