About us
Viso A Viso is a collective projectthat embraces, with enthusiasm and commitment, the challenge of contemporary mountain life and its habitability within a European dimension. It explores a model of culture-based regeneration, with particular attention to young people. Guided by this vision, Viso A Viso develops projects, activities, and services for both residents and visitors, generating a new local economy: cultural and community welfare, hospitality, and sustainable, inclusive tourism.
Since April 2025, Viso A Viso has been a Green Flag representative of Legambiente.
Viso is one of the names by which Monviso,
is known — the mountain that majestically dominates our horizon.
Viso A Viso is our way of engaging in dialogue, face to face.
