Getting there is complicated, there is a lot of portage but the descent is beautiful and very fun

In summer it is easy to reach by car and, from the car park, it offers a series of interesting excursions of various lengths (and difficulty, while remaining substantially simple) in a context that is usually not excessively crowded.

A happy discovery, worth a visit

Beautiful refuge at 1600 m, quality food 😋

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!

Dirt road that connects the Forchetta hill to Monastero lake, ideal for an easy walk

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.

Lake Monastero is a fascinating body of water in the Lanzo valleys, in the municipality of Cantoira. It is easily reachable via a wide dirt road that passes through the Forchetta hill, but there are also shorter paths that cut across the route, all of which can be easily covered by running. Getting here almost always means facing a rather challenging climb, but in a suggestive environment with a view of the Val Grande and the Levanne. To the north-west, the path follows a half-coast, so it is rather flat, on the slope of the La Rossa peak.
