Hi kids! The walk I’d like to suggest today is really going to be an adventure ’cause we will try together to find a missing place (…that maybe never even existed)! The Castrum Hengroniae, which is a Latin name meaning “Angrogna Castle”, is a mysterious building destroyed in 1332, where an inquisitor (a person who […]

Today you’ll need to have a quite long walk to follow me to Alpe Souiran, on the path that from Alpe Crevlira goes to Alpe Infernet. In this place remains no more than the ruins of the pasture, little houses that once were a shelter for the shepherds, just like the one that is the […]

Hi there! Today we are in a very nice field in the township of Rorà, in Pellice Valley; this place is known as Pra La Gesia (“field of the church”), or – as it was called in ancient times – San Nicolao, since right here there used to stand a catholic church (according to others, […]

Hi! Would you be happy if you found a treasure? So, listen carefully, take a shovel and follow me in Val d’Angrogna, where an old legend narrates the discovery of a huge quantity of unrefined gold. A day, as usual, a shepherd was looking after his flock at Crô Saben, between Crëvlira and Souiran pastures, […]

Hello everybody! Today we are in Villar Pellice, in the central Jervis square, for some local history… Actually, you ought to know that right here there’s a building that could be considered as a symbol of the hostilities between Waldensians and Catholics: the ancient Convent of Villar. In the past, in many places there used […]

Today I want to talk you about a place that’s outside from the Valleys, and for this reason I’ve prepared a bigger sandwich to start my journey to Crissolo, in Val Po. I’ve heard many times people talking about the Rio Martino cavern, a place that in some ways is connected to the history of […]

Hello kids! Are you ready to come back with me into the kitchen and prepare a typical recipe from Waldensian Valleys? After learning how to cook the Frichioulin of flowers and a special walnuts cake, today I’d like to show you how to cook a salty plate… but as tasty as the others: let’s cook […]

The legend I’m telling you today is set in the territory of Angrogna, in Val Pellice. Its protagonists are a bunch of bandits and a normal guy that for a day turned into a hero.

Dear friends, when I went looking for the Malmatin pasture, near Alpe Infernet, in Angrogna valley, I started my journey from Vaccera hamlet under a bright sun. Then, I easily walked on the unpaved road that takes you to the houses of Crëvlira. After this hamlet, I continued on the nice mule track until I […]

Hi all! This post is the first in a series of special ones: in these articles I’m not going to take you around our valleys and their stories, but, with the help of a guest, I’m going to tell you something curious about our territory. Today I’m together with the naturalist Emanuela Durand, who’s going […]
