San Benedetto is located in the valley, on the banks of the Belbo river. In the eleventh century a Benedictine monastery was built in this place, hence the toponym. The writer Beppe Fenoglio, a great lover of this corner of the Langa, cited San Benedetto Belbo in masterpieces such as La Malora and Il partigiano Johnny.

This road leads to Mombarcaro and runs alongside large fields, some of wheat, others used for haymaking. Along the way there is also a refuge where you can stop for a cold drink.

The charming village of Bergolo is called the "stone town" because all the houses have been renovated using sandstone. The Romanesque chapel of San Sebastiano is a place of great historical and artistic importance: it dates back to the twelfth century and is located on a very panoramic hill over the Bormida and Uzzone valleys.

This evocative castle, which seems to have been taken over by Ireland, dates back to the 13th century and dominates the watershed between the Uzzone valley and the Bormida valley, in an extremely panoramic position that on sunny days allows you to look up to a good portion of the Alps, from the sea to the Monviso up to the more distant massifs of G. paradiso. There are several climbs, all long and satisfying, to reach Prunetto, perhaps the longest, but also the most satisfying, is the one that initially climbs from Cortemilia between dolcetto vineyards, then through woods and wide meadows, passing the municipalities of bergolo and Levice , up to the hill where the castle stands. Another, shorter climb starts from the town of Monesiglio, a beautiful medieval town that is worth a visit. From the nearby town of Gabuti (a hamlet of Camerana) another climb starts that leads to the town of Gottasecca and from here, with some rather hard tears, leads to Prunetto in about eight km of narrow asphalted road. from whichever side you go up, the view is guaranteed. The whole ride, rather tiring, is all on asphalt and for the most part on secondary roads with very little traffic, going through it on the contrary the climbs become less tiring overall.
