Destination Weddings in Cuneo

A city constructed about 800 years ago, Cuneo was built on a piece of land shaped in the form of a "wedge," for which the town is named.  Walls, towers, and an abundance of historic monuments secure this medieval village with a population of more than 52,000.  Baroque churches are prominent throughout the town and the historic center consists of ancient houses and palaces.  The 16th Century Town Hall has been recently restored and is a definite tourist attraction.  Eight kilometers of covered walkways provide needed shade from the hot summer sun and lend a distinctive character to the area.

Six valleys extend from Cuneo:  The Pesio Vally, which is characterized by lavish vegetation, offers great opportunities for long was and rock-climbing.  The Vermenagna Valley, which leads up to the Colle di Tenda is a lush and historic connection to France.  The Gesso Valley leads to the base of the highest peaks of the Maritime Alps, and is well known for the Valdieri thermal baths.  These have been used since Roman times, providing 32 hyper-thermal springs that release therapeutic sulfutous mineral waters, and aid in the treatment of dermatological and rheumatoid issues.  The Stura Valley, the longest of the Cuneo valleys, has been dedicated each December since the 1500's to the snail.  This valley is ideal for mountain biking as well as cross-country and alpine skiing.  The Grana Valley is famous for its cuisine and its Castelmagno cheese.  The Maira Valley, is best known for its rural chapels and alpine villages.
