칸토이라 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A happy discovery, worth a visit

Borgo di Cantoira ruined and abandoned, from which you can also reach the sanctuary of Santa Cristina. A fountain of fresh water comes to our aid to fill our water bottles

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!

Swing just outside the village and from where you can admire the view up to Santa Cristina, on the rocky spur on the opposite side of Cantoira

beautiful sanctuary perched on the coast dividing Ceres and Cantoira

In the 1950s it was an inhabited village. So 200 years I would say is too many.....

A beautiful village in the municipality of Cantoira, also home to a mechanical nativity scene and starting point for excursions

The Mole Antonelliana and the Tower of Pisa at eye level, reachable with an easy walk in about twenty minutes from Vrù, in a very beautiful place. You go up a wide uphill road. Signs prohibit lying down on the meadows, used for grazing livestock. A few meters away there is also the representation of the summit of Mount Rocciamelone.
