Frabosa Sottana is a hidden gem in Piedmont, Italy, nestled at the foot of the Alps. Renowned for its pristine landscapes and medieval hamlets, this village embodies slow-living philosophy. Its 15th-century stone architecture and traditional winemaking heritage form the core allure, with ski resorts accessible in winter.
Visit the Castello di Frabosa to admire medieval turrets, or hike through Bosco dell'Alevè—Europe's largest stone pine forest. The Grotte di Bossea caves showcase million-year-old stalactites, while local wineries offer tastings of Barolo wines.
Savor mountain cuisine: handmade tagliatelle with wild mushroom sauce, or venison stew. Don't miss hazelnut desserts like Nocciola di Cuneo cake, perfectly paired with Castelmagno cheese. Warm up with Vin Brulé mulled wine in winter.
Drive 1 hour from Cuneo (A6 highway) or take Ferrovie dello Stato trains to Mondovì station, then transfer by bus. The village is walkable, but renting a car is recommended for exploring surrounds. Snow chains are mandatory in winter (Nov-Mar).
May-Oct for hiking amid mild weather, with vibrant grape harvest in September. Dec-Feb is ski season—book lodgings early, and enjoy alpine Christmas markets.
