Embark on the Tetto Pilone and Monte Croce loop tour, an easy hike near Borgo San Dalmazzo that offers diverse terrain and rewarding views. This route covers 2.4 miles (3.8 km) with an elevation gain of 447 feet (136 metres), taking about 1 hour and 11 minutes to complete. You will traverse unpaved roads, asphalt sections, and natural paths, leading you through sparse woodlands and along ridges between the Stura and Gesso Valleys. From Monte Croce, you can enjoy spectacular 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and the Cuneo plain.
This trail is particularly recommended in spring and autumn, though its panoramic views are striking even in winter when vegetation is less dense. While generally considered an easy excursion, some sections may require sure-footedness. The trail is easily accessible from Borgo San Dalmazzo, making it a convenient option for a quick outdoor escape. Always check local conditions before you head out, especially regarding weather and trail status.
What truly sets this loop apart is the unique "Via delle Meridiane," or Sundial Route, featuring numerous artistic sundials along a portion of its path. You might encounter a large, ground-level sundial or one shaped like a table indicating visible mountains. The route also passes by historical sites like the Sanctuary of Monserrato and features whimsical wooden sculptures, adding a cultural and artistic touch to your natural surroundings.
