Beautiful stretch of asphalt road that connects Trana to Giaveno, emerging on the road from Cumiana to Giaveno right at the foot of the descent from Colletta di Cumiana. Excellent alternative to go to Giaveno or Colletta di Cumiana avoiding traffic. The road passes through woods, pastures and hamlets, offering here and there stupendous views of the Sangone: we are a few kilometers from Turin, but it seems like we are in Switzerland, or in the high valleys of the Western Alps. A highly recommended route.

Embark on the Sacra di San Michele Loop, a challenging road cycling route that takes you through diverse landscapes. You will cover 33.4 miles (53.7 km) with a significant elevation gain of 3623 feet (1104 metres), typically completed in 2 hours and 57 minutes. The journey begins with picturesque lakeside views as you skirt Lago Grande di Avigliana before ascending towards Colle Braida Pass. As you climb, you are rewarded with sweeping panoramas of the Val di Susa and the iconic Sacra di San Michele, a historic monastery dramatically set on Mount Pirchiriano. The route also winds through charming villages and wooded areas, offering a rich visual experience for advanced cyclists.

This difficult loop demands a good fitness level due to its mountainous terrain and steep gradients, with some sections reaching 12%. While mostly on quiet asphalt roads, be aware that some route variants might include short gravel sections or technically demanding descents with loose stones, which can be tricky for road bikes. Parking is generally available near the Lakes of Avigliana, making it a convenient starting point for your ride.

This route is ideal if you are a well-trained cyclist seeking a significant climb within the Parco Naturale dei Laghi di Avigliana. The Sacra di San Michele, a monastic complex perched high on Mount Pirchiriano, serves as a prominent historical landmark and a visual anchor for this memorable ride. It offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance, making it a notable challenge in the region.
