ストランビネッロのおすすめツーリングルート

Punta Quinzeinaへのハイキングを開始するために駐車できる展望地点

The Church of Saint Elizabeth can be seen from tens (perhaps even hundreds) of kilometers away. It's the little white dot you see on clear days when looking toward Quinzeina. Reaching it by bike is wonderful, though quite tiring...

Beautiful old town with imposing buildings and views of the mountains.

Very suggestive bridge, there is only one flight of steps with wide steps to go up to Issiglio, you have to push your bike... but it's only about ten meters.

As Stefano wrote above, the town is built with the mountain techniques of the past centuries: stone and lime. If you are also a good eater, you cannot ignore the recipe for "zuppa di ajucche" from Valchiusella, a traditional dish of the region, made with a wild herb called "ajucche" (or "ajucche" in the local dialect). The typical recipe involves cooking bread, ajucche, and a mature mountain cheese, in overlapping layers, and then moistened with the cooking water of the herbs...

Victoria is yawning with new joints... :-P

In reality, this place is not so "flat" because, from when the slopes become less steep to when the descent begins, there will not even be a hundred meters ... but the environment is superb, high mountain, and makes up for the road that, especially towards Frassinetto, is not in such good condition. There is nothing, not a bar, not a fountain ... but it is worth stopping and admiring the splendid panorama. Going up from Frassinetto the slope, after the village, becomes discontinuous and challenging, more gradual if you go up from Colleretto Castelnuovo, where the road alternates beautiful hairpin bends in the woods ... however, it is not a gift from this side either!

After a climb, just stop at the bar restaurant on the shore of ..Lake Alice 🐰
