What to visit in Varaita Valley? What to see in Varaita Valley?<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>From 2020 in Melle it is possible to walk among medicinal herbs and ornamental plants to rediscover the ancient herbal tradition of the valleys adjacent to Monviso recovered by Valverbe. Perfumes, colors and a stream will bring you in a unique atmosphere. This is the \u201cGiardino dei Profumi\u201d created by Valverbe.<\/p>\n<p>It is called the \u201cPerfume Garden\u201d because it is located within the company processing facilities where over 100 tons of herbs are processed every year to make herbal teas. The scent of the processed herbs fills the air with therapeutic and balsamic effects. The perfume will follow you throughout the visit. Every day a different plant is worked so it will smell differently at every visit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37533 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-300x225.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1-1100x825.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/old.valverbe.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/188250192_10158037624696027_3625996819177385046_n-1.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Giardino-dei-profumi-Valverbe\" width=\"577\" height=\"433\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Garden is made up of two distinct areas, the walk is easy for everyone, no special equipment is needed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the middle of the Upper Garden you will find a wooden terrace from which you can see a unique view of the Varaita Valley and the whole garden. A small pergola welcomes shows and events throughout the year, even at night.<\/li>\n<li>The Lower Garden has a shorter route but no less interesting. It starts alongside a small lake where aquatic plants can be found. The teardrop-shaped path is made up of plants that need cool, moist soil, this area being in the shade of the warehouse. In the lower part the aromas become more intense as you are right next to the drying rooms from which part of these come. We therefore advise you walk slowly step by step, breath after breath.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flowering varies during the course of the warm season, therefore it is possible that in spring and autumn there are different levels of flowering compared to the summer period. The perfumes, on the other hand, vary according to the processes that the company carries out during the day of the visit.<\/p>\n<p><a
