Oncino

Oncino is best known within Piedmont for its setting in the upper Po Valley beneath Monviso, the defining peak of the Cottian Alps. This small municipality occupies steep alpine terrain above the Po, where wooded slopes rise towards pastures and high mountain routes. Its scattered stone hamlets reflect the building traditions of an Occitan-speaking corner of northwestern Italy, while valley roads link it to other communities below Monviso. Oncino is shaped less by urban monuments than by seasonal mountain life and the immediate presence of the Alps.
