The peak of Corno Stella, with its 3050 m, represents the symbol of climbing development in the Cuneo area, on which numerous climbing routes have been tracked since the early 1900s. Here you will be free to retrace historical and modern itineraries on very high quality granite rock, in a breathtaking environment with a still wild flavour.
Here you can still enjoy the mountaineering of the past, far from human infrastructures and spend the evenings between one climb and another in the authentic Rif. Bozano, talking about adventures with other mountaineers as was done before modern social media. Here time seems to have stopped, a rare beauty to find.
