Val Varaita Trekking: Tappa 1 Verzuolo - Isasca

In Verzuolo you start from via al castello, after the wing, going up to the right on the paved road and passing between the old houses of the Guardia district and next to a votive pylon, where the road turns left and begins to go along the ridge of the hill . With a stretch of mule track we arrive at Pian Fiorito. We continue through the woods and arrive at the Sanctuary of Santa Cristina. From the square in front of the church we go up the steep dirt road and after 50 meters we leave it behind to take the narrow path on the left which takes us with a steep ascent to the Pilone San Salvatore. From here we continue downhill arriving at Pian Colletto, a crossroads of several paths. We keep to the one that goes up and we reach the top of the hill where the white chapel of S.Bernardo Vecchio is located. We take the direction of Isasca – Venasca on a narrow path that follows the watershed. We keep the ridge with various ups and downs and then we follow the direction of Isasca. We enter a magnificent chestnut grove and go down to the town square.
