Who are we
La Routo, from the Occitan far la routo, meaning “make the journey”, is a Franco-Italian project aiming to develop territories around the practice of transhumance and roaming tourism. . It is the result of over ten years of exchanges between the Maison de la Transhumance (Salon-de-Provence) and theUnione Montana Valle Stura (Italian Piedmont) and seeks to implement and facilitate a crossborder itinerary and network connecting the Crau Plain and the Stura Valley.
The GR®69 La Routo®long-distance hiking trail, connects the plains of lower Provence to Piedmont’s Alpine valleys, following the former drailles and carraires (transhumance tracks and rights-of way) in the footsteps of the flocks of sheep on the great summer transhumance of bygone days.
