Ormea

The landscape around Ormea is a narrow, wooded Alpine valley along the upper Tanaro River, and this terrain has shaped both the town’s compact form and its traditional mountain economy. Set in the Ligurian Alps of southern Piedmont, Ormea is a practical base for the Alta Val Tanaro, where roads and paths follow the river between steep slopes. Its historic core preserves covered arcades, narrow streets and older stone-built houses, giving the settlement a distinctly inland character unlike the nearby Ligurian coast. Ormea is also the terminus of the Ceva–Ormea railway, a line that connects the valley with the Piedmontese rail network.
