TERRA DEL CASTELMAGNO ECOMUSEUM - MONTEROSSO GRANA
Just as Castelmagno represents much more than a cheese, but combines the spirit and culture of a valley, the Grana Valley, in all its goodness, the Ecomuseo Terra del Castelmagno tells, in different places and with different languages, a rich territory of traditions and peculiarities, an ancient history that is worth listening to.

The Terra del Castelmagno Museum tells the past through a modern interactive exhibition that traces the production and history of one of the most popular Italian cheeses in the world. To experience the local dairy production, the Pradleves Dairy also offers guided tours and workshops.
The hamlet of San Pietro in Monterosso Grana is a village crystallized over time, inhabited by “babaciu” (puppets in Piedmontese), straw figures dressed in ancient clothes and intent on the daily activities that characterized mountain life at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
"Una casa per Narbona", in Campomolino, represents the hope of keeping intact the memory of the difficult life in the mountains, which culminated in the emptying of the Alpine villages in the 1960s and 1970s. The ghost town of Narbona comes to life in this house a little further downstream, with the reconstruction of the original rooms of the houses.
Recent history is also told in the mills, sawmills and hydroelectric plants of San Pietro, Monterosso Grana and Pradleves.
Outdoors, "La Curnis" in 45 km of path shows botanical and animal peculiarities, touching ancient villages and isolated chapels.
