A multi-million dollar project to transform the interval roads into the highest cycle path in Europe. The arrangement of the provincial road and the two tunnels between Ponte Marmora and Canosio. Elva’s candidacy in the Borgo dei Borghi call. These are the priorities that the administrators of the Maira Valley presented this morning (Wednesday 16 February) to the governor Alberto Cirio, on an institutional visit with the vice president of the Region Fabio Carosso and the regional councilor for health, Luigi Genesio Icardi. For the first time, the three highest offices of Palazzo Lascaris together in Valle Maira. The first summit in the Municipality of Marmora, where the mayor Giorgio Reviglio presented a preliminary study drawn up in 2013 for the arrangement of the 18 km of the Esischie hill that connects the Maira valley to the Grana, towards Castelmagno, and to the Stura in the Arma valley by Demonte. Indicative expenditure of 5.2 million, only for Esischie, the idea is to extend the works to the other intervals, including the dirt road on the Gardetta plateau, thus creating an Alpine cycling tourism center.
Cirio’s visit continued to Elva, where the mayor Giulio Rinaudo delivered a dossier for the country’s candidacy for the Borgo dei Borghi call for proposals, which provides for 20 million in funding from the NRP. The Region has in fact moved the Stupinigi project to the major interventions plan of the Minister of Culture, freeing up a space for line A of the Borghi plan. In the dossier, Elva has included all its natural and artistic beauties, from the cable museum to the parish church with the frescoes by Hans Clemer. A section is also dedicated to the valley road, which has been closed since 2014 due to the risk of landslides. To participate in the regional tender there is time until March 3, then the investigation will begin and the Cirio junta will decide on the flag project to be brought to Rome. Fenestrelle and Pomaretto are also back in the running, but other Piedmontese municipalities could join.
After lunch in a farmhouse in the hamlet of Isaia, in the presence of the Prefect Fabrizia Triolo, the day continued with various appointments: in Busca, visit to the “Ingenium” cultural association, at the Parco dell’Ingegno-Convento dei Cappuccini. Following, at the “Francotto” house, presentation of the planning of the “Strada dei Cannoni”. Meeting with the mayor and the municipal administration and the mayors of the area; then in Cuneo, at the “Giolitti” room of the Province, signing of the program agreement with the Municipality of Entracque for the construction of the ski-roll track.
