Looking for the most Instagrammable spots in Valle Maira? Fremo Cuncunà is definitely one of them!

This incredible rock spur is located in the municipality of Elva, specifically on Colle San Giovanni, just a few dozen meters from the concentric chapel of the same name. Suspended over the void, it offers a breathtaking view of the mountains: Bettone, Chersogno, Marchisa, Pelvo, and Monviso. If you look down instead, the entire Vallone di Elva will be at your feet.

Actually, Fremo Cuncunà isn’t just this single rock, but the group of rocks that form a very unique shape: that of a “crouching woman,” which in Occitan is called Fremo Cuncunà. If you want to see the whole figure, the best view is from the Vallone di Elva road!

Now you’re ready to have your photo taken on a rock overhanging the void, but always remember that in the mountains, you can never be too careful!
