Things to see and do Borgata San Giovanni

Very beautiful frescoes cover almost entirely an exterior wall of the chapel. They represent Virtue, the ride of Vices and the punishments of Hell. The frescoes painted in the famous chapel of Saint-André in the Ramats, in the hamlet of Chiomonte, belong to the same school.

For the most courageous, the site offers the possibility of measuring at the via ferrata in the imposing gorges dug by the river of Du Riparia. Departure and return from Giaglione. From the village of Giaglione, leave the car near the school where a sign indicates via ferrata. In 35 min, we reach the bottom of the gorge of the torrent Doria Riparia. Place of return: Castello di Giaglione. A long crossing with 2 shoreline changes through rugged Nepalese bridges (very large cables), and an ascent on gray slabs to climb your throat. Count 4 to 5 hours of ferrata. The place, very wild, gives the impression of making progress in a jungle, and the passages above the torrent in the gorges are impressive.
