Embark on a moderate hike along the Sentiero della Collina Torinese, a 6.3-mile (10.2 km) route that takes about 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete. You will gain 1298 feet (396 metres) in elevation as you explore a mix of quiet forest paths and gentle gravel sections. The trail offers a peaceful escape from the city, leading you through shaded woods and past the reflective pond in Parco della Maddalena, where you can enjoy the natural surroundings.

To begin your journey, you can easily reach the trailhead by taking bus line 371 to Moncalieri. Alternatively, if you prefer to drive, parking is available near the pedestrian bridge on Corso Moncalieri, which marks the starting point of the route.

This trail is part of the larger Grande Traversata della Collina network, connecting you to a rich history of paths walked for generations. As you hike, you will encounter the Pian del Lot Memorial, a poignant reminder of wartime resistance and the stories of courage from 1944. The route also provides glimpses of Turin's skyline through the trees, blending natural beauty with historical significance and urban views.
