Val Maira

The Maira Valley (Val Màira in Piedmontese) is an alpine valley in the province of Cuneo, taking its name from the Maira stream that runs through its length.
The valley is bordered to the north by the Varaita valley, which runs parallel; to the south it borders in the lower valley with the Grana valley and in the upper valley with the Stura di Demonte valley; to the west it borders with France and to the east it has its outlet on the Po valley. It is about 45 km long and is cut in half by the stream that gives it its name: the Maira.
