Highlights and tour details

From the centre of Ronco Canavese, follow the road until you cross the bridge and climb, always on road, as far as the hamlet of Convento. From here, take trail 601 for Colle del Crest which climbs the Fatinaire Valley cutting a steep and bumpy slope. First, pass by B.ta Combrat (1020 m) to climb the steep cliffs that descend from Punta dei Sionei and from Costa Doccia. Before Colle you touch Alpe Sionei (1855 m), a large alpine pasture between large meadows, served by cablecar but abandoned for some years. From Colle Crest (2050 m) descend on the side of the Robordone Valley between more open environments passing the Barlan mountain huts (1474 m) and Balmot to reach the Sanctuary of Prascondù at 1321 m. From here, continue first on a mule track until, past a bend, you meet the paved road that leads to the hamlet of Talosio.
