Acceglio is best known in Piedmont for its setting in the upper Maira Valley, close to the French border in the Cottian Alps. The Maira River runs through a municipality made up of small Alpine hamlets, where stone-and-slate building traditions reflect the steep terrain and long winters. This is one of the Cuneo valleys associated with Italy’s Occitan cultural area, evident in local language traditions, music and food. Roads and paths lead from the settled valley towards high passes and mountain pastures, while the community’s quiet scale sets it apart from Piedmont’s larger resorts.
