The "Rocche" in Roero

Wild and mazy, the “rocche” are the most typical natural feature of Roero, and go all through the area, like a deep wound in the ground.

Created by an interesting erosion phenomenon, the rocche are like an open book about the geological history of Roero: a true eden for paleonthologists, bothanics and life scientists.

Nude sheer sides, sand aiguilles and pinnacles in all kinds of ocre colour come unexpectedly out of the dark green of the rich and shady trees.
