The village is made up of scattered hamlets situated on the sunny side of the upper Po Valley with a great view of Monviso (3841 mt). The Po river, in its lowest part, crosses this territory.
Even though it is necessary a four hour walk to visit all the hamlets, this is the easiest way to see this Alpine corner of Occitania. During the winter snow shoes and boots are recommended. The architecture is based on a spontaneous mix of stone and wood with the typical tiled "lose" roofs. This mountain was well populated in the past and the fields were cultivated with big stone slabs limiting them.
