Camping Il Glomere

Combine a walk with wild swimming in pristine mountain waters at Tumpi di Bobbio Pellice waterfall (35 minutes by car), or stroll through alpine meadows around Chiot d’la Sella (45 minutes). There are more hikes to be had in Rocca di Cavour Natural Park (half an hour), where the kids can follow a sculpture trail through the trees. If you want to up the sporting ante, you can also see the countryside from above on parachute jumps from Skydive Garz (35 minutes). That may be too much for younger kids, so take them to spot the sabre-toothed tiger and brontosaurus at Lost World amusement park (40 minutes). When it comes to pastimes cultural, there’s an exceptional collection of modern art at the Tucci Russo Studio per l’Arte Contemporanea di Elisabetta Di Grazia in Torre Pellice (25 minutes), where you can also learn about the heritage of this mountainous region at the Museo Valdese, housed in a handsome baroque-era mansion.
