Anello Ceronda - Tappa 1
From the valley floor, the route climbs to the crest of Monte Corno (1226 m) and the historic Passo della Croce (1254 m) — a crossing point once used by partisan couriers during the Resistance — with panoramas sweeping across the Alpine arch, the plain, and on clear days even the distant outlines of the Lombard Alps to the east-northeast.

Il Cammino delle Valli
A loop through the Lanzo Torinese valleys — Viù, Val d'Ala, Val Grande, Tesso, Malone, and Fandaglia — the route threads past ancient mule tracks, 16th-century stone bridges, and small hamlets like Pugnetto, Cresto, and Fornelli where time seems to stand still. Along the way it passes five parks and reserves, including the area around the Ponte del Diavolo and the Pugnetto caves, all set within the Piedmontese Graian Alps.
