Embark on the Via delle Risorgive from Airasca, a challenging 51.9-mile (83.5 km) touring bicycle ring tour that takes you through diverse Piedmontese landscapes. With an elevation gain of 517 feet (158 metres) and an estimated duration of 5 hours and 7 minutes, this route is rated difficult due to its length and varied surfaces. You will cycle past cultivated fields, wooded areas, and the impressive Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering a blend of natural beauty and historical grandeur.
Planning your ride, be aware that while much of the route is asphalt, you will encounter significant sections of paved roads, unpaved paths, compacted dirt, and even cobblestones. This mix of terrain means a hybrid or mountain bike with wider tires is recommended for comfort and control, making it less suitable for road bikes in some stretches. Good fitness is essential to comfortably navigate the varied surfaces and considerable distance of this extensive tour.
The route gets its name from the natural springs, or "risorgive," that characterize the landscape, providing unique natural environments just a few kilometers from Turin. As you cycle through the Stupinigi Natural Park, you will experience surprising scenery with tree-lined avenues and farmhouses. The tour also incorporates parts of the Airasca-Moretta cycle path, built on an old railway line, and offers opportunities to spot wildlife like white herons and ibises in a hunting reserve near None.
