Ecomuseo delle Rocche del Roero, Ecomuseum and tourism office in Montà, Italy.
The Ecomuseo delle Rocche del Roero is a museum network connecting eight municipalities in an area with distinctive geology, where fault lines shape the land. The territory alternates between rolling hills with villages on their crests and valleys with different climate and soil conditions.
The region began in the 10th century when an emperor granted large lands to the Bishop of Asti, leading to the founding of medieval settlements. This early distribution of power shaped how communities developed along the geological lines.
The network connects places where wine, truffles, and honey are made, showing how these products have been part of daily life for generations. You see traces of this work throughout the region, from vineyards to beehives.
The information office in Montà provides printed maps and audio guides to help you explore the walking trails and village landscapes. Staff there can advise you on current trail conditions and the best times to visit.
The terrain hosts remarkably different environments over short distances, where dry and humid microclimates exist side by side and support specialized plant species. This geological diversity makes each section of the walking routes feel like a different landscape.
