WHY THIS HIKE

The Sanctuary of Santa Cristina

Itinerario ad anello molto suggestivo che si sviluppa sullo sperone roccioso posto all'ingresso tra la Val d'Ala e la Valle Grande di Lanzo. L'itinerario si inerpica su di un sentiero ben tracciato tra i boschi di castagni e faggi fino al punto più estremo dove il paesaggio si fa molto interessante. Il Santuario venne edificato nel lontano 1440 per consentire ai valligiani di assistere alle messe nei periodi di pestilenza. Discesa dal lato di Cantoira

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Franco, an environmental hiking guide and a climbing instructor. I've loved the mountains and outdoor activity for as long as I can remember, and I love being out there in every season: everything changes four times a year, which is why you never get bored of the same trail. What I enjoy most is sharing with other people what I feel out there. Climbing included: teaching someone to trust their own feet is one of the most satisfying things I do. I love travelling and planning my trips in complete freedom — and some of that freedom always ends up in the outings I offer. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
