Cuneo: a rich autumn along the river
TREKKING AND BIKE FOR EVERYONE

Summer and holidays are over? Of course not. Beautiful days, yet many opportunities to hiking in the forest. For example in one of the most important oasis of Cuneo: Gesso and Stura River Park that embraces ten municipalities, it has cycle and pedestrian paths up to 100 km and connects mountains and plains with 60 km of shores and water, canals, bridges and old farm houses.

Here the "Casa del Fiume" (River House) educational center has already prepared an exciting autumn, full of events for all ages and legs, at full nature and joy.

It’s the "Autumn in the Park" calendar which this year enriches the already tested appointments with new products launched by the guys of the Sound Factory, the cultural association which won a contract for three years for educational and entertainment activities.

 

It starts on Sunday, October 4th with an event for families with children: "Junior Cycling", a ride from the ‘River House’ to Borgo San Dalmazzo, accompanied by a guide who will liven up the tour with games, nature observation and some tips .

Until November it continues with a series of workshops designed for children, that spice up the weekend with explorations and tours: from "Sand faces" to "Lottery of diversity", through "What’s going on?" And "Creative Recycling - Baby".

October is therefore the highlight month for trekking and excursions: Sunday, October 11th is scheduled "The Painted River": a walk along the river Gesso with a guided tour at the Casa Galimberti Museum to find out how the area changed since Matteo Olivero, Lorenzo Delleani and Giuseppe Bagetti sat in front of their easels to create the works of the civic art collections.

A walk suitable for everyone along the banks of the river Stura, discovering pure landscapes, historical and cultural aspects of the territory.

From October 24th to October 31st, the ‘River Home’ will host the exhibition "Insects between water and air", to know more about bugs, and not only, that inhabit ponds, swamps, rivers and lakes. Life, metamorphosis, curiosity of a world divided between water and air, that has fascinated scientists for centuries.

During the exhibition, on Thursday, October 29th, there will be a specific initiative, with a guided tour for all ages and a thematic workshop for children from 5 years.
