Lurisia is a famous ski resort at 750 m. altitude in the Mondovì (Cuneo) mountains and offers a mountain landscape perfect for sunny days on the slopes of Monte Pigna. You wake between 900 and 1768 m. altitude in an unspoiled paradise that does not know cars, stress or overcrowding.

The partial snow, combined with the painstaking work of gattisti experts, helps to make the tracks, already picturesque , more secure, exciting and workable in all conditions.
On top of the existing 29 km of descent, they have recently added another 4 km of new piste above "Serralunga" overlooking the natural park of the Pesio Valley.

on Wednesday 5 August 2009

The Monviso, with its 3841 meters high, stands out clearly above the Alpi Cozie constitutes its highest summit, and famous. No western mountains of the Alps, except the Matterhorn, is known as this huge rocky pyramid visible from almost anywhere away from the plains of Milan in the days more terse. Rises and majestic and isolated, although not reaching € 4000 for only 150 meters, it still shows the appearance of a mountain rather harsh and demanding on which were measured some of the greatest names in history.
