Grande Traversata del Biellese: Stage 9 Cerreto Castello - Castellengo (Cossato)

Loading...

Highlights and tour details

Following a mixed route of paved roads and cart tracks, in Cascine Ronco we resume the paved road to the left that ends on the former SS 232. Due to the high level of traffic, it is better to continue by bus to Castellengo, where we climb towards the castle and from the Ecomuseum of Baragge we turn right travelling a maze of cart tracks and trails that enters the forest and comes out close to Cascina Pescia. From the lane to access the cascina, we reach a paved road that continues to a car park, where we enter Baraggia di Candelo. After admiring the charming panorama of the meadow, we descend into a valley, crossing the dense forest as far as the road for Candelo. Having abandoned the paving before a bend to the right, we enter the dense forest, where we descend to Valle Fresca, following the river which we cross to climb up along a track which is little visible, next to a watershed. Having reached a dirt road that goes along cascina Bonino, we descend along the paved road to a bridge where we take a track on the right. Having entered the wood, we cross the Bona Grande to climb back up the opposite slope along a cart track that leads to Canton Stellino. From here, a trail descends into the forest to the left and ends on the paved road that leads to the Church of SS. Pietro e Paolo.
