The Roero is scarred by a unique and fascinating geological phenomenon: the Rocche. An 11 km long crack in the earth, from outside Bra to Cisterna d'Asti, actual canyons formed by the by the ‘Capture of the Tanaro’ that diverted its course some 250 million years ago.
Today they offer open-air geology lessons with stratifications, sand, spires and caves: views enriched by the legends of the “masche” (witches) and hermits who once inhabited this impervious landscape. They can be explored by car, admiring them from panoramic balconies, on foot or by bicycle thanks to the Ecomuseo delle Rocche.
Immerse yourself in a unique and wild landscape!
