Descrizione

From the terrace of the refuge, cross the bridge over the Gravio stream, following the signs for path 522 (Sentiero dei Franchi Trail). At the crossroads with path 506, continue straight, heading up the right side of the valley, until you enter the vast forest of laburnums that covers the ancient Carthusian pastures of Pian Signore.

At the next junctions, continue to follow the trail of the Sentiero dei Franchi which, after a series of ups and downs, makes a high traverse across the right side of the Valsusino hillside, until it comes out of the woods near Alpe Fumavecchia.

From here, take path 524 which cuts across the paved road and enters the larch wood, where, after an initially flat section, it climbs steeply on the ridge.

Continuing along path 524, after a steep climb, you reach Pian dell'Orso (1860 m). Near the Cappella della Trasfigurazione you can enjoy a magnificent view of the entire lower Val Susa, the Sacra di San Michele and beyond, all the way to the hill of Superga.

Once past the the small saddle, you return to Val Sangone, in the Sangonetto valley. Take path 435 eastwards towards Colle Bé Moulè with an initial level stretch, followed by a descent to Pian Bergart and the aforementioned hill, where a Park notice board is located.

Just beyond the notice board, look for a signpost indicating path 420A that, heading southwards, descends to the Pian Gorai bridge where it ends after crossing a wooded area alternating with pastures.

Once at the wooden bridge, head across it and walk down path 420 for a few metres. Then take path 419A, which leads to Pian Gorai. When you reach the plateau follow the white and red paint markings that head slightly downhill and skirt round it and lead to the ford on the Palè river. Then head up the opposite side to reach the intersection with the dirt road just above the Palè mountain cabins.

Cross the road and continue in a south-east direction where there is a signpost indicating the beginning of path 419B . Follow this until it reaches the ford on the Rio della Fuglia.

Ford the river easily, and head up the other side until you come to a signpost indicating Roc dou Lermou.

The next section is the most challenging with a rather steep climb through a mixed deciduous forest. After this steep section, the climb becomes more gradual.

Reach the intersection with path 419 and follow it in the direction of the Ciargiur del Forno.

You come out into a clearing just upstream of the Roc dou Lermou (1485 m). Continue slightly downhill to the south until you reach path 417A which allows access to the alpine cabins of Ciargiur del Forno where it ends.

Pass by the alpine cabins of Ciargiur del Forno and continue down path 417 which passes through a mixed deciduous forest, until you come to some abandoned houses at Colletto di Ruata.

At this point, leave path 417 that leads to Ruata and turn right onto path 416A. From Colletto di Ruata, ignoring the first flat path on the right that leads to Chè Veii, continue along path 416A which descends until it reaches the Ricciavrè stream.

Cross a grassy area, where the 416A ends, and reach path 416 which heads into the Ricciavrè valley and arrives from the village of Flizzo.

Follow for a short distance path 416 to reach the houses of Flizzo and continue on path 416B passing above the houses to reach a small stream that you cross.

Continue on and cross a second stream. The alpine cabins of the hamlet of Molè are already visible; the path arrives in the hamlet where it joins path 415 and returns to the starting point.

Punti di interesse

“Cà d’Marc Picapera”, un roccione sul quale Marco Delo, un pastore e scalpellino di Villar Focchiardo morto ai primi del 1900, ha inciso capre, asini, figure antropomorfe, lasciando così una viva testimonianza della vita su queste montagne.

Nei pressi della Cappella della Trasfigurazione di Pian dell'Orso si gode di una magnifica vista su tutta la bassa Val Susa, la Sacra di San Michele e oltre, fino a Superga.
