SI E38

With this long route featuring significant elevation gain, you'll travel through Val Soana, passing by the beautiful sanctuary of Prascondù dedicated to the Madonna di Loreto, built near the spot where a young man from Ribordone had a vision of the Madonna on August 27, 1619. From here, you’ll take the trail towards Colle Crest, from which you descend northward towards the village of Ronco Canavese. We are in the small Val Soana, one of the natural treasures of the Piedmont side of Gran Paradiso National Park. The path continues along the left bank of the Soana River until Valprato, then after crossing the stream and passing through the main town, you reach the hamlet of Chiesale and venture into the Campiglia Soana valley until you arrive at its rest stop.
