From an architectural point of view, the fortified complex that, also thanks to its elevated position, has become the symbol of the town is of notable interest. The building dates back to the 11th century and all that remains of it is a circular small tower known as La Saracena. In the hamlet of Sangiacomo, where our Tourist Office is located, we find the church of San Giacomo. The church was built in the mid-18th century in a Piedmontese Baroque style and is based on the design of the architect Francesco Gallo of Mondovì.

The hamlet of Prà still bears witness to the tragic Salt War that, from 1680 onwards, shook the Monregalese area. On the 8th of March 1699, during the final clashes of the war, Prà was severely damaged and many farmhouses were destroyed. Nowadays, in memory of that tragic day, the rock overlooking the town is still known as “Rocca dei Morti” or “Rock of the dead”. 

During the winter season, the mountain town revives also thanks to theSangiacomo Cardini Ski area. Consisting of 35 km of slopes and 9 ski lifts, the ski area is also home to freeride descents, ski schools and equipment rental facilities. Beginners have the opportunity to choose between the nursery slope in Sangiacomo and the new playground with treadmill on Monte Alpet. In the summer season, Roburent and the surrounding valleys are the perfect place for horseback riding, mountain biking and relaxing walks: sporty and active holidays for everyone, also characterized by the tasty local cuisine.

The main events take place in summer and in autumn. In June, there is the Monte Alpet Bike Fest, one of the stages of the Gravitalia national circuit. The Monte Alpet Bike Fest is a three-days of races and shows on the downhill slopes of the Cardini and the Sangiacomo hamlets. Between July and September, the town is home to antiques, collectibles and handicraft markets along with many other small local entertainment initiatives. In September, the Fiera della Montagna takes place, while in October the autumn season is welcomed with chestnut gathering, roasted chestnuts during the chestnut feasts, markets selling typical products and folk music concerts.

The town of Roburent, thanks to its sunny climate, its environment rich of greenery and, above all, to its water sources, can be also considered as a successful wellness mountain town. From the Fonti del Liset gush the waters that, with their beneficial properties, are considered the lightest at European level and the most suitable for newborns and babies.
