The Via del Sale is located in the heart of the Po Valley in Piedmont, a region where Occitan roots have significantly influenced the local culture and traditions. Dominated by the majestic Monviso, which rises to 3,841 meters above the region, and traversed by the Po River, the longest river in Italy, this valley presents a stunning mountainous landscape, ideal for hiking and outdoor adventures.
The inn is surrounded by a landscape of great environmental significance, nestled between the Po Natural Park and Mombracco, a historically important area that preserves traces of prehistoric settlements and is even mentioned in Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts. Nature enthusiasts can explore scenic trails and climbing routes, while those passionate about history and art will find Saluzzo, the ancient capital of the medieval marquisate, and the Cistercian abbey of Staffarda, a true architectural gem, just a short drive away.
Throughout the year, the Po Valley offers unique landscapes and enchanting atmospheres, making La Via del Sale the perfect base for discovering an authentic land rich in history, nature, and tradition.
