Description:
From Chialvetta, following the "Scurcio", which coming from Acceglio, going up the Vallone di Unerzio connects the old villages in the Vallone. The first we meet in this short excursion is Pratorotondo, located in the valley basin at the base of what was the glacial moraine that descends from Viviere. An elongated country, which has the houses on the sides of the mule track, perhaps to avoid occupying important portions of land to be cultivated. An old renovated mill testifies to the peasant activity of the time, and it served all the villages of the Unterzio valley. The excursion continues up to the small Borgata Viviere, now renovated and which houses a nice alpine refuge with comfort and tasteful furnishings.
