WHAT TO DO IN VAL MAIRA
Visaisa taverna & foresteria is located in a strategic spot for all those who love outdoor life and sports, including extreme activities.
The village of Saretto naturally sits at a crossroads of trekking trails, hiking routes, and mountain bike tracks.
As a mandatory passage for several routes, it can serve as both a starting and finishing point for a day of exploration of the lakes and passes of the high Maira Valley.
The GTA (Gran Traversata Alpina) hiking route, the Occitan trails, the Roberto Cavallero Trail, the Dino Icardi route, and many others pass through here, connecting France, the Maurin Valley, Unerzio Valley, and the Varaita Valley.
In the tavern, you’ll find maps for trekking and mountain biking routes.
On the Consorzio Turistico Valle Maira’s website, you can find all the excursions.
The area is also renowned for climbing, thanks to the peaks of the Cozie Alps, and just a short distance from the inn, at the Maira springs, large Dolomitic boulders rest in a fairytale-like forest, frequently visited by bouldering enthusiasts.
In winter, the area becomes a paradise for ski mountaineering, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing lovers.
Our small inn is also ideal for those simply looking to escape the city, enjoy pristine nature, and immerse themselves in a past culture through the discovery of mountain villages and the slow mountain life. Around here, you’ll find easy routes that lead to nearby villages via ancient paths, sometimes marked by traditional dry stone walls.
Lovers of afternoon naps will find the relaxation of our garden irresistible, and why not, enjoy reading a book from the second-hand collection of the “Senza Polvere” bookstore in Cuneo while lounging on the deck chairs.
On weekends, we often organize artistic and cultural events such as small concerts, DJ sets, film screenings or documentaries, workshops for children, art exhibitions, and yoga or climbing retreats. The full program can be found by following us on our social media profiles.
