MONCALIERI - Biking on the water: Le Vallere and Valentino Park

The route starts at the entrance of Le Vallere Park (Moncalieri - Corso Trieste, 98). Follow a loop in the park up to the pedestrian bridge at the confluence between the Sangone and Po rivers. Continue for about 1 KM, and re-cross the Po on the Turin Marathon pedestrian bridge. Immediately after the bridge, return towards the riverbank with a short dirt descent and follow the bank downstream. The cycle path, initially dirt, leaves the bank for a short paved section beside Corso Moncalieri, then returns to the bank before Ponte Balbis and stays there up to the Umberto I Bridge. Here it is recommended to cross either to ride along the Murazzi or on Corso Cairoli.

From Piazza Vittorio, retrace the Murazzi and ascend near the Umberto I Bridge. Then enter Valentino Park next to the Triumphal Arch and continue on Viale Virgilio (possible detour to see the main facade of Valentino Castle). Then reach the Borgo and the Medieval Fortress (free access to the Medieval Borgo with bike in hand). Continue south and pass by the Fountain of the 12 Months. Reach the Po riverbank again and continue inside the park until you see the Automobile Museum on the right side of Corso Unità d’Italia. Follow the fence of the United Nations Campus until crossing the bridge over the Sangone, a few meters downstream from its confluence with the Po.
