Holiday apartment in Momperone – between the Curone Valley, culture and culinary delights

Momperone lies on a gentle slope to the right of the Torrente Curone. With its numerous hamlets, the municipality extends across both sides of the valley. For planning your trip, this makes it a place where landscapes, history, regional cuisine and active pursuits can shape a variety of holiday days.

Slopes, trails and small discoveries

The municipality has established trails of medium difficulty that you can use on foot and by bicycle. Several votive chapels can be observed along the hiking and cycling routes; there are also sulphur springs along the hiking and cycling routes. You can take the moderate difficulty of the trails into account when planning a hike or bike tour. A riding stable in Momperone offers rides for experienced riders and riding lessons. This allows you to combine exercise and discoveries with different levels of challenge.

Church and mill as historic highlights

The local history also provides a clear focal point. Momperone was first mentioned in 1220, during the reign of Emperor Frederick II of the Hohenstaufen dynasty. Several historical layers come together in the parish church of Santi Pietro e Vittore: the Baroque church has notable marble altars and was built in the 15th century over an existing 12th-century building. The presbytery was designed by the Turin painter Delle Ceste.

Another notable structure is the water mill Mulino ad acqua. It dates from the feudal period, has two milling mechanisms and French millstones, and is already mentioned in a document from 1542. The water mill is accessible by car and is located a short distance from the town hall.

Malfatti and summery culinary delights

Local cuisine includes Malfatti, a characteristic first course of the Curone Valley that is particularly associated with Momperone. You can sample Malfatti prepared according to the traditional recipe by the local women at the Malfatti evenings organised by the local A.T. Pro Loco di Momperone. These evenings are part of the summer programme every year from June onwards, giving the regional speciality a firm place in the seasonal experience of the town. The Malfatti evenings combine the traditional recipe with Momperone's summer programme.

Golf as another holiday focus

Golf & Country Val Curone has an 18-hole golf course with a par of 72. The course is open year-round, except for some short weather-related periods during the winter months. If golf is part of your holiday, this focus can complement culture, trails and regional cuisine in your trip planning. For golf enthusiasts, 18 holes, par 72 and the winter exceptions are specific details that can help with planning each day on site.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Momperone, you can use the mix of activities you want for your days as your benchmark. Moderate trails, historic buildings, Malfatti, rides for experienced riders, riding lessons and golf appeal to different interests. Accordingly, you can base your accommodation choice on the focus you want to set for your stay.
