ジェルマニャーノのおすすめツーリングルート

Passo della Croce di Chiaves, a very tough but interesting climb!

Pizzeria and Trattoria La Piazzetta, excellent and generous sandwiches for a pleasant stop. Good beer! Recommended!!

Panoramic view of Lanzo station, which from here, with the mountain backdrop and the curve of the tracks, appears like a vintage postcard.

This 13th-century church of the Confraternity of the Disciplinati di Santa Croce has been remodeled over the centuries, but retains its general 13th-century layout: in particular, the portal with a round arch, the semicircular rose window, and several small terracotta arches on the side. The exposed stone bell tower has a beautiful modern sundial (1995). It is located just outside the historic center, on Via Roma, and is worth a visit.

A stunning Gothic structure: at the base of a sturdy tower, a gate leads to the historic center of Lanzo, where you'll immediately encounter other well-restored and impressive Gothic structures. Another good reason to avoid the provincial road tunnel and head up to the village (two other good reasons are: 1. It's very dangerous; 2. Bicycles are strictly prohibited).

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 very pleasant stretch among the vineyards, at one point skirting a beautiful pine hedge

A marvel! This small village with an adjoining Sanctuary is of rare beauty, it enchants!
