Gesso and Stura River Park

Cuneo is considered the green capital of Piedmont for its numerous parks and gardens. The city’s green lung is the extensive Gesso and Stura River Park, which can be reached from the centre with an easy bike ride suitable for everyone, including children.

This itinerary, following a winding route that starts right in heart of the city, is mainly off-road but on well-beaten ground, a bike ride with stops along the way that is highly educational.

Ideally, follow the Gesso and Stura River Park itinerary in a clockwise direction: starting from the historic centre of Cuneo down along the avenue from Corso Guglielmo Marconi to Via Porta Mondovì. Those not wanting to pedal down from (or up to) the top of the city can use the panoramic lift at the beginning of Corso Marconi, which takes bikes on board free of charge, up or down the 27 metres of difference in height in just 45 seconds.
