Very characteristic and suggestive crossing on the Stura. A must if you are in the area

What can I say, pure spectacle!

Crucial point of several itineraries, spectacular view

Impossible to pass through Lanzo without passing through here!

Uja di Bellavarda is one of the most visited and well-known peaks in the Val Grande di Lanzo and in the entire Lanzo valleys. To reach the peak, which rises to 2,345 metres, the terrain does not present any particular technical difficulties other than the difference in altitude to be overcome on a path which always climbs rather steeply. The descent is a lot of fun! However, all the effort is rewarded by a unique view of Val Grande, the other peaks of the Lanzo valleys, the Gran Paradiso group and, in the distance, Monviso and the Maritime Alps chain. On the summit stands an imposing iron cross and the summit book.

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.
