포마레또 최고의 라이딩 경로

To reach the bench, you have to walk along a path for the last stretch, leaving your bike near the road, which actually continues for a bit, but as I climbed, I didn't get the impression that it reached the bench.

A refreshing surprise nestled in the greenery: easy to reach and perfect for a short break with a view.

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.

A long but not challenging climb, with pleasant views of the valley below. I arrive in the square with a bear as a welcome. 🐻

Quiet town of passage.

Nice little village, with a bar for breakfast.

Panoramic position in the municipality of Prarostino. Monument to the fallen
