HIGH SALT ROAD
3 DAYS / 2 NIGHTS
Limone Piemonte
Description
The salt roads between Piedmont and Liguria were lands of confluence for shepherds, mule drivers, merchants and travelers who reached Piedmont and Northern Europe from Western Liguria and the nearby Provence using the Alpine passes, giving life to extensive exchange networks. Transit areas, guarded by the numerous watchtowers spread throughout the territory. Today the "Salt Roads" have lost their commercial connotation and take on an important role for outdoor tourism: hiking, trekking and MTB destination, they allow to explore territories that are still unspoiled and rich in flora and fauna varieties.
