Parco Naturale del Marguareis

This 6800-hectare park spreads across two valleys – the Valle Pesio and Valle Tanaro – located in an area south and east of Cuneo. It's a great place for hiking amid richly varied terrain. There's also an extensive cave system here. The highest peak in the Ligurian Alps is the park's eponymous Marguareis, a limestone massif that reaches 2651m.
