The Monti Pelati, also called Monti Rossi, are a narrow band of hills located between Baldissero Canavese and Vidracco, characteristic precisely because their color and arid territory make them stand out from the rest of the environment.
The reason why the territory looks like this is because it is composed of Peridotite rocks, rich in iron and magnesium. Peridotites are very hard and compact rocks that resist erosive agents more than other rock materials.
From the alteration of iron and magnesium minerals, very acidic and poorly developed soils are generated. The vegetation that covers this small relief is consequently poor in trees but rich in uncommon herbaceous and shrubby species.
Suitable for MTB and GRAVEL
Drinking fountains along the path
Separate waste collection.
Panoramic view of the Gurzia Lake Dam.

An easy climb that rewards you with a view of the lake and its dam. Pay attention to cars, the road is not very wide in some places.
