Our Agriturismo
Alpes d'OC is a farmhouse in Val Maira, in Morinesio, an authentic and timeless alpine village in the heart of Piedmont's countryside.
We are Paolo and Consolata, born in Dronero and mountain lovers by passion. After years in the city, we chose to return to our roots, among silence, unspoiled landscapes, and rural hospitality.
In 2006, Alpes d'OC was born: a life project rather than a hospitality venture, founded on
respect for the land, traditions and people.
We have restored an old alpine refuge, transforming it into a sincere place made of stone,
wood and humanity.
Here you can:
- experience the authenticity of a farmhouse in the high mountains
- savour local products such as our blackcurrant compotes and liqueurs
- breathe in the deep calm of a valley still untouched by mass tourism
We welcome travellers, walkers and those curious about the world with
simplicity.
The door is open. We look forward to seeing you, even if just for a
coffee (with a dash of something extra).
Our livestock
It all began with a small group of alpacas.
Docile and gentle animals, at times shy, they soon found a quiet and peaceful balance among themselves — and with us.
And so our tribe was born: Mosè, Carlotta, Eros, Bernardo, Benur, Anna... proud and magnificent, each with their own personality.
They live freely among the meadows of Morinesio, in the heart of the Maira Valley, surrounded by the silence of the Alps and a slow routine made of grass, sun, and snow.
Over time, the tribe has grown naturally: we don’t choose who arrives, but we welcome each new companion as part of the family.
We apologize if we can't mention them all here, but each alpaca holds a special place in our daily life.
Come meet them in person: seeing an alpaca up close, in its natural environment, is a unique — and deeply relaxing — experience.
Our crops
Our farm was born in the mountains and for the mountains.
The crops are grown between 700 metres above sea level in Dronero and 1,500 metres
above sea level in Morinesio, in healthy environments, far from busy roads, settlements and
intensive farming.
We have made green self-sufficiency our philosophy: we only work with land chosen for its environmental purity and we practise certified organic farming at every stage of the process.
Our "bio" is twofold:
- Naturally bio, thanks to the original healthiness of the soil
- Organic cultivation, because we follow strictly natural methods and comply with the certification body's regulations
We grow small mountain fruits – in particular blackcurrants, redcurrants, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries – which are used to make compotes, juices and liqueurs with an authentic and concentrated flavour.
Quantity is not our goal. We seek quality, respect for the rhythm of nature and biodiversity.
There is no shortage of green fingers around here.
