Porta di Valle Varaita
Segnavia, Porta di Valle Varaita
Segnavia is a historic facility in the Varaita Valley, at the foot of Monviso; a point of reference for local communities, hikers, and mountaineers.
The Tavola Calda and Bar
The Tavola Calda at Segnavia offers homemade cuisine with fresh and wholesome dishes. Fresh homemade pasta, panzanella, tomato soup, sausage and beans, stew with potatoes, creamy soups, vegetable soups, typical platters, and many other seasonal surprises. Don’t expect a fixed menu, as it changes according to availability and seasonality—but the quality of the ingredients is always guaranteed!
Marco, the chef of Viso A Viso, previously ran a restaurant specializing in vegan cuisine, so vegan and vegetarian options are always available!
Segnavia also offers a small wine cellar with selected wines from small producers and heroic viticulture, digestive liqueurs made from local herbs and flowers at the foot of Monviso, and mountain craft beers.
