ヴァルデッラトーレのおすすめライド

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.

It's located on the main road (Via Traforo), the provincial road to Moncenisio. This neoclassical church, nestled among the houses, tends to go unnoticed—especially because it's located at a rather complex traffic-light intersection, which draws attention elsewhere. However, it deserves a closer look.

Pretty little town, very pleasant to use as a base for exploring the region.

It's a little pearl of our Piedmont Alps...

The cycle path under the bridge has finally been reopened

Great bar with great beer

The Kiosko is open 7 days a week and is a great refreshment point for cyclists and hikers.
