Probably dating back to 1600. The saint to whom it is dedicated protects against leg aches, fractures and stones.

Beautiful little church, which has found itself in spite of itself on the edge of the provincial road. On the plus side, it's impossible to miss this way! Worth a look, if only to have an excuse to take a break on the way up.

Embark on Stage 3 of the Don Bosco Trail, a moderate hike that takes you through the picturesque vineyards and woods of Italy's Piedmont region. This 5.1-mile (8.2 km) route features varied terrain, with continuous undulations across dirt roads, footpaths, and some asphalt sections. You'll gain 691 feet (211 metres) in elevation, a journey that typically takes about 2 hours and 21 minutes to complete. As you hike, you'll pass beautiful vineyards and open fields, offering expansive views of the landscape. Don't miss the panoramic Big Bench Albugnano, a unique spot perfect for a photo opportunity.

Before you set out, be aware that this stage of the Don Bosco Trail is not suitable for strollers due to its varied terrain. While generally accessible for hikers aged six and up, a good level of physical fitness is recommended for this moderate route. If there has been recent heavy rain, prepare for potentially muddy conditions underfoot. Also, keep an eye out for brambles, especially if you are hiking early in the season.

This stage is a highlight of the Turin hills, known for its continuous undulations that provide a dynamic hiking experience. Beyond the natural beauty, you'll encounter charming churches along the way, such as the Church of Santa Maria della Neve, adding a touch of local culture to your journey. The route offers a true taste of the Piedmont countryside, blending natural scenery with historical points of interest.
