Trail Description


Cycling - 70 Km round trip along the Stura di Lanzo river. This track unfolds on secondary roads as an officially"suggested" cycling route as per the posted bikesigns, although these are sometimes difficult to be seen causing he route to be lost. I cleaned this recorded track from several wrong directions, making it now reliable for correctrepetition. There is also a reported parallel route to the northwhich would make it a nice loop rather than takingthe same way back, but I didn't explore it due to time constraint for the day.The final part of the ascent was actually done through a narrow - and deserted - wrong way to reach the highest point in Lanzo.Although not included in this track, theDevil's Bridge (Ponte del Diavolo), built in XV century,is a nice sight near Lanzo and offers a quiet resting and pic-nic spot in the park.Pavement is rough in some areas and not the best for road bikes, reason why I classify the route as "Mountain Biking" although certainly feasible with any type of bike.
