Charming historic village. Places of interest include the parish church of Sant'Ambrogio and the 13th-century medieval bridge, still intact. The FFSS train station is about three kilometers from the center.

From Prunetto the road to Gottasecca, after a "soft" start, becomes steep. It is a hundred meters of tiring climb, but once you reach the "La Curma" area the panorama that opens up repays every effort. An overall view of the Alpine arc, which includes a good portion of the Maritime Alps, his majesty Monviso and, towards the North, the mountains of the Susa and Lanzo Valleys, behind the Vanoise, still beyond the Gran Paradiso... you just need to "hit" a beautiful sunny day. The little road continues for a few km alternating between the Uzzone Valley and the Bormida Valley, before descending to Gottasecca.
