Varaita, Creek in Province of Cuneo, Italy.
The Varaita extends for 75 kilometers through the Cottian Alps, starting from Monviso mountain and flowing eastward toward the Po River.
The creek established itself as a central waterway for communities in the Varaita Valley, connecting settlements and supporting agricultural development since medieval times.
Local residents maintain traditions of water resource management through communal systems that distribute irrigation rights among farmers in the valley.
Visitors can access multiple points along the creek via the provincial road, with parking areas near Sampeyre and Pontechianale offering direct water access.
The water source at 2,500 meters elevation provides a steady flow throughout the year, supporting both local agriculture and natural ecosystems in the region.
