Entracque - an emotional connection, a sense of being and belonging
Welcome
ENTRACQUE
Our Valley
The valley is particularly sunny and the landscape has some unique characteristics.
The east facing mountain range along the Busset river valley reaches a height of close on 2300m, it is a limestone formation the same as the Dolomites and it runs from Entracque to the French border.
In contrast the mountains along the Gesso River valley that run from Entracque to San Giacomo and on to the French border are granite and reach their maximum height in the Argentera Mountain at 3297m.
Our Village - The Name
The name ‘Entracque' (Between the Waters) refers to three rivers, the Gesso and Busset that meet just below the village and the Rif that divides the village into two distinct quarters, Pascher, the first you meet on coming into the village from the direction of Cuneo and Autari across the river.
