Tips from the Community
In 2018, Vittoria Bussi set the women's hour record (which she then lost, then regained in 2023 and further improved in 2025). A sign, signed by Vittoria Bussi herself, reminds us that the cyclist used the straight stretch of the Strada Reale di Stupinigi to prepare for the record. Riding the same road at my "slow pace" (cit.) is a notable contrast, but it's nice to think that you're riding on the same playing field as the champions.

824m above sea level, about ten less than the nearby and more famous Monte San Giorgio, compared to which it is less frequented and therefore quieter. Reachable as an intermediate stop for San Giorgio. It offers an excellent view of the Turin Alps. On the top stands a splendid Italian flag dancing in the wind.

Panoramic mountain that offers a 360 degree view, with spectacular panoramas of the Turin plain and the Alps. Visible among the many, the Musinè and the Rocciamelone.

One of the springs that give the name to the nearby cycle path. Not always active, as it is a rising groundwater table, and in periods of drought it is dry: but when there is water, it is a spectacle. Nearby, a beautiful green area. Nice stopover point.

Along the cycle path there is this point, which in normal times is filled with water from a resurgence, but due to the drought of recent months it is completely dry. In addition to the resurgence there are some picnic areas in the shade, very pleasant in the summer months.
