Sambuco is a small alpine village in the Stura Valley, in the province of Cuneo, characterised by stone houses and the quiet pace of life typical of Piedmont’s mountain villages. Mons is located in the heart of the village, surrounded by meadows and wooded slopes climbing towards the Maritime Alps, in an area still relatively untouched by mass tourism compared to other Piedmont valleys.
The centre of Sambuco already offers several useful addresses within walking distance: the restaurant Racletterie la Meridiana is about 800 metres away, while Della Pace is 850 metres away; for a more refined dinner, L’Oste d’Oc is located 2.7 km away. The nearest airport, Cuneo Levaldigi, is about 48 km away and can be reached by car following the Stura Valley towards the valley floor. The road crossing the valley connects Sambuco to Cuneo and, via the Colle della Maddalena, to nearby France.
Mountain lovers will find plenty of hiking opportunities nearby: Cima del Rouss, which rises above 2,600 metres, can be reached in about 5 km, while the Maritime Alps Natural Park, around ten kilometres away, offers summer trekking trails and high-altitude landscapes home to ibex and chamois. Nearby is also the natural area of Pietrasmile, 2.8 km away. In winter, the area is suited to snowshoeing walks and cross-country skiing in the nearby valleys, while in summer the pastures and woods around Sambuco become a destination for hikers and mountain bikers looking for less crowded routes compared to Piedmont’s more touristy valleys.
