Ostana is situated in the upper Po Valley, nestled on a sunlit slope that directly overlooks the stunning pyramid of Monviso, one of the most iconic mountains in the Alps. This small Occitan village, composed of various traditional hamlets, still retains the charm of yesteryears, thanks in part to careful architectural restoration and a renewed interest in mountain life.
The geographical location of Ostana ensures excellent sun exposure, creating a favorable microclimate and an environment filled with fresh air and clean water. The many pastures surrounding the village make this area perfect for nature lovers and outdoor activities, providing ample space for walks, hikes, and moments of relaxation amidst greenery.
The village is easily accessible by following the road to the Po Valley until the junction just before Crissolo, about 32 km from Saluzzo, the historical capital of the Ancient Marquisate. Nearby, Crissolo serves as a hub for winter sports with its ski resort located at the foot of Monviso. The region also offers significant natural attractions such as the sources of the Po River at Pian del Re and the Rio Martino Cave, must-see destinations for hiking and nature enthusiasts.
Ostana has been recognized as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy" due to its balance of tradition and innovation, with a government that supports sustainable revitalization projects and contemporary alpine architecture. The surrounding environment invites visitors to experience authentic moments, from the rejuvenating silence of its cobblestone streets to the vibrant colors of autumn, when nature transforms into a living painting accompanied by the enchanting sounds of local wildlife. This blend of beauty, history, and amenities makes Ostana an ideal place for those looking to discover a unique corner of the Alps, away from mass tourism yet rich in charm and vitality.
