HISTORICAL ROUTE

UPPER SALT ROAD

“'Man’s real home is not a house, but the Road, and that life itself is a journey to be walked on foot.”

DISCOVER MORE

The Upper Salt Road is a spectacular unsealed former military road that connects the Piedmontese and French Alps to the Ligurian Sea. It winds its way along the mountainsides following the main Alpine watershed near the border between Italy and France, at altitudes between 1,800 and 2,100 metres, in a succession of Alpine crossings, bends and thrilling passes

The, entirely unsealed road, connects Limone Piemonte, in the province of Cuneo, with Monesi di Triora in the Ligurian mountains covering a total distance of approximately 30 kilometres. It is open to walkers, cyclists and motor vehicles (except on certain days of the week when the Via del Sale is open to walkers and cyclists only) during summer and autumn, after the snow has thawed.

ATTENTION
IMPORTANT WARNING

All motorised users of the Alta Via del Sale are requested to respect the speed limits indicated and to moderate their speed in compliance with the regulations, whenever they cross other vehicles and with respect for cyclists and/or walkers.

We would also like to remind you that high speed contributes to the deterioration of the roadbed with an increase in annual expenses, borne by local authorities, for ordinary and extraordinary maintenance works.

The forces in charge of surveillance, park rangers and municipal police, will be able to issue fines to users who break the regulations.

The Upper Salt Road belongs to everyone and for everyone, so good manners and respect for hikers and cycle tourists passing along the Upper Salt Road is always a sign of civilisation and coexistence, especially in the mountains.
