Alto

Alto has served as a mountain settlement in the Piedmontese Ligurian Alps since the Middle Ages. Set above the upper Tanaro valley in the province of Cuneo, the small comune stands near the Ligurian border, in a zone where mountain routes have long connected inland Piedmont with the Mediterranean side of Italy. Steep lanes and stone-built houses define its compact older quarters, while wooded slopes and high ridges surround the settlement. Alto is a distinctly rural corner of Piedmont, far removed from the region’s larger cities. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Piedmont connects regionally.
