Sentiero per Ricchiaglio

The Sentiero per Ricchiaglio is a gentle invitation to slow down and immerse yourself in the unspoiled landscapes of the Valli di Lanzo. Starting from Viù, the trail winds through mixed forests of chestnut, birch and fir trees, where sunlight filters through the canopy in ever-changing patterns depending on the season. Open meadows punctuate the route, offering sweeping views across the valley with mountain peaks forming a dramatic backdrop. In spring, wildflowers carpet the forest floor in vivid colour, while autumn transforms the path into a golden corridor of warm, russet hues. Wildlife sightings are common along the way, from roe deer grazing at the woodland edge to birdsong echoing through the branches overhead. With a manageable elevation gain and a well-marked trail rated at standard hiking difficulty, this route is perfectly suited for families with children, beginner hikers and anyone seeking a restorative day in nature. Dogs are welcome on the trail, making it a great choice for four-legged companions too. Spring, summer and autumn all offer rewarding conditions, with each season lending the landscape its own distinctive character and charm.
