perfect route for gravel rides

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.

Full official name: "Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows and of Saint Michael the Archangel." Dating back to the 17th century, it has been extensively remodeled several times, reaching its current form in 1994, when the original frescoes were replaced with trompe-l'oeil paintings depicting the same subjects. The effect is very pleasing. In front, there is a drinking fountain.

To the side of the provincial road, a beautiful, well-preserved chapel dedicated to Saint Lucy; next to it, a covered fountain-washhouse with drinkable water.

A humpbacked stone bridge, right at the entrance to the village. I'm surprised it's not nicknamed "Devil's Bridge."

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).
