Orsara Bormida

Perched on a broad rocky spur, Orsara is a small municipality with just over 400 inhabitants.

Ovada

Ovada is situated in a hilly area 190 metres above sea level at the edge of the Po Plain, at the meeting point of the two valleys through which the Orba and Stura rivers run, where the hills of the Ligurian–Piedmontese Apennines begin.

Parodi Ligure

Between Gavi and Ovada, on the last hills before the Ligurian Apennines, lies the village of Parodi Ligure, in the province of Alessandria and, despite its name, still within Piedmont.

Prasco

The village of Prasco lies just under 250 meters above sea level, in a hilly, verdant landscape where vineyards enrich the scenery.
