Rocche del Roero, Sentiero del Roero

A geological fault line has left a jagged 25 km scarp of sandy cliffs, ravines and hoodoos slicing through the Roero. The Sentiero del Roero and its variants trace the rim between oak wood and Arneis vineyards, linking castles and villages like Montà, Santo Stefano Roero and Pocapaglia.
