ブルゾーロの洞窟・トップ6

On the north side of medieval Bussoleno, between the town and the Dora River, a section of the original dry-stone city wall remains, complete with a beautiful defensive tower. It's historically interesting and scenically beautiful, with the Dora River and the mountains in the background. If you visit medieval Bussoleno, which is as small as a handkerchief, you're almost forced to end up here. The city wall and tower are also clearly visible from the bridge over the Dora River.

Nice little town, but not really cyclist-friendly: the castle, a nice point of interest, is accessible only if you go to eat a lot (they say explicitly: "We are not a museum, a bar, a restaurant - here we have lunch, dinner and a snack"), the fountains are not drinkable, in short, the impression is that of being unwelcome guests. That said, visiting it in their face is a great satisfaction.

Village in the Susa Valley. Starting point to go up to Cortavetto, where we find the Paradiso delle Rane lake

Locality of Val di Susa, where an excellent quality and size of "Marrone" chestnuts is collected and sold

This castle dates back to the 12th century and is said to have been built by the Knights Templar. We know for sure that it belonged to the Rotari family and later to the Borello family, from which it has kept its name. It is located in a splendid position, on the edge of a large plateau, almost invisible from below. The building is private, consequently the castle is only visible externally... but the place is certainly worth a detour for a short visit!

More than a castle, it is a fenced tower built in the 13th century, now owned by the Antonielli d 'Oulx

I ride mainly on dirt roads and single-track, mostly in the middle of ancient chestnut groves. The castle of Mattie and the beautiful church are almost at the end of the tour, on a rocky prominence positioned behind the town, overlooking the Susa valley. From the church to the castle, take a very difficult path (bike alongside). Uphill cycling (for medium level cyclists): 98% Downhill cycling (same speech): 95% Most challenging climb: the one that goes up to Pian Focero (near the Certosa di Banda)
