Lurisia Between Thermal History and Mountain Winter

Lurisia Between Thermal History and Mountain Winter

Lurisia can be discovered through two distinct sides: its thermal history and its mountain landscape with winter sports and trails. Lurisia is home to the Terme di Lurisia thermal attraction; the spa complex was inaugurated on 28 July 1940. This gives the complex’s history a precise date. For you, this provides an introduction that combines cultural and natural interests without limiting the area to just one travel idea.

Winter Orientation at the Ski Resort

The winter side includes the Lurisia Monte Pigna ski resort. It can be reached by a characteristic ascent facility. In clear weather, the view from the ski resort extends across the Cuneo plain to the Cervino and Monte Rosa. For your travel planning, this makes it clear that the view and ascent are tied to this specific location, while the distant panorama depends on visibility conditions.

The Lurisia Monte Pigna ski area has snowshoe trails. The route to Baita Elica leads to an alpine hut beside the ski slopes of this ski area and is also suitable for beginners in snowshoeing. Its suitability for beginners helps you assess the route according to your own level of experience.

Regional Cuisine and Water from Lurisia

Water and cuisine are also part of the local character. Water from Lurisia is bottled and sold throughout Italy. At Baita Monte Pigna, guests can enjoy a typical dish from the Piedmontese mountain tradition, such as polenta with sauce or with local cheese and alpine butter. The range of themes rooted in Lurisia therefore extends from a product distributed nationwide to a regional mountain dish.
