Altalena Gigante: Swing into the Langhe Landscape

Nestled in the heart of the Langhe region in Cossano Belbo, the Altalena Gigante (Giant Swing) is more than just a playground attraction; it's an artistic installation that celebrates the beauty and spirit of the area. Created by the Mirano family in April 2021, this vibrant swing set was designed to offer visitors a new perspective on the stunning landscape, promoting the region's rich heritage and polyhedral nature. The Altalena Gigante, also known as L'Altalanga, is constructed from giant, colorful pencils, a ruler, and an eraser, creating a whimsical and playful atmosphere. As you swing, you're treated to panoramic views of the Valle Belbo and the surrounding hills covered in vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The swing provides a sense of freedom and lightheartedness, making it easy to embrace your inner child. More than just a fun activity, the Altalena Gigante embodies the vitality and creativity of the Langhe. It serves as a symbol of the region's commitment to blending art, nature, and community, offering an authentic and unforgettable experience. The installation is part of a network of attractions in Cossano Belbo, including giant benches and chairs, encouraging visitors to explore the area's unique charm.
