The
Valle Po (Po valley), is a valley of
Cottian Alps in the
province of Cuneo,
Piedmont, northern
Italy, run by the
Po River before it enters the
Pianura Padana (or Plain of the Po). It gives rise to the longest river in Italy, the Po. It has a length of some 32 km, from
Saluzzo to
Crissolo, and is home to the
Monviso mountain. It is bounded by the
Val Pellice,
Valle Varaita and the Valle del Guil. Gives rise to Traversette pass (
Colle delle Traversette) (2950 m above sea level) and passes through the King's plain (
Pian del Re) (2020 m) where the Po river has its source.
