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.

Although the flag parade seen in some of the photos (which various users have uploaded to the highlight) could theoretically fit into a memorial for the victims of the two world wars – who came from many different nationalities – they do not belong in any context with the “Monumento ai caduti”.

Quiet town of passage.
