アルピニャーノのおすすめライド

新古典主義とバロック様式の間のようなスタイルの美しいレンガ造りの教会。注目に値する。

Beautiful bridge over the Sangone, with impressive architecture.

An ideal spot to see the large Avigliana lake: a convenient stop, it offers spectacular views. You couldn't ask for more.

The Capuchin church is beautiful, and the view from the square is stunning. A great place to stop.

nice climb, not too challenging

Initially entrusted to the Augustinians, the church served as a place of welcome and prayer for pilgrims. In the 1620s, management passed to the Capuchins, for whom a new convent was built next to the sanctuary.

A grand 13th-century abbey, with walls as strong as the faith of its founders, evocative for its location and history, it's definitely worth a visit. A little trivia: Umberto Eco drew inspiration from this place for the setting of his masterpiece.

I only tackled the Avigliana side, finding it a beautiful climb, easy in the first section, slightly more challenging in the section after the descent (but never prohibitive). Highly recommended for autumn, when you can enjoy the splendid colors of the forest that frames the climb. A detour to the Sacra di San Michele, a charming abbey rich in history, is highly recommended.
