Descrizione
Starting from the center of Balangero (430 m) or from the railway station, take the cyclo-route that from S. Anna, along track n. 402, goes along the left bank of the river Stura di Lanzo through rural road in the greenery. After having passed the Centro Sportivo Lanzese, you reach the village center and, through a short stretch of asphalted road, you arrive at the entrance of Ponte del Diavolo Park (477 m). From this point, hiking route starts along the trail n. 101C that goes up to the North crest of Monte Corno. It encounters short stretches of rural tracks, where the track n. 101A starts, and passes the Grange Blina (832 m) and the Grange Foieri up to Roc del Merlo (1036 m) peak. Keeping the way on the crest among the vegetation, you reach Monte Corno (1226 m), the peak of this stage. From here you can enjoy a formidable panorama both in the direction of the alpine arc and towards the plain. In clear days, you can see even the profiles of the Lombardy Alps in east-north-east direction. Following the ridge, you will find a stretch of forest road through which you reach the top of Monte Turu (1355 m). Here there is a large repeater tower. Beginning the descent you will immediately cross the nearby Passo della Croce (1254 m), a famous historic partisan crossing between Turin and the Viù valley, during the years of Resistenza. Here, in addition to the large metal and wood cross, and the statue of the Virgin, there is an open shelter where you can stop enjoying a beautiful panorama. The descent runs along path n. 090, with several hairpin bends, and finally along the aqueduct service road. It arrives at Vallo Torinese, near the Chapel of San Rocco (594 m). From the church, you go down to the village where you can find the stage place in private accommodations.
