A happy discovery, worth a visit

Those who intend to climb up to this town by bike must take into account about 300 m. of altitude difference with almost always double-digit gradients, on a road that, if it rains, becomes very delicate to travel downhill. Having clarified this, the town is delightful and deserves a visit, both for the care with which many of the old huts have been restored, and for the many "embellishments" that peep out along the alleys, in the entrance halls or from the windows. It is recommended to follow the itinerary as per the track, then proceeding, bike at your side, through the narrow streets, stopping to read the many stories of ordinary people who have lived here. Unfortunately, the only bar in the town at this time (end of March) was closed... the only negative point!

It can be reached with a couple of hours of easy walking from the Forchetta hill, or with a longer walk from the Locana valley. In fact, this Alpine pass separates the municipalities of Monastero di Lanzo with that of Locana, joining the Orco valley and the Lanzo valleys.
