Alta Via Canavesana (AVC)

Canavesana High Route (AVC)Photo: www.piemontescape.com
Discovering the valleys of Alto Canavese with a 13-stage loop immersed in the Piedmontese side of the Gran Paradiso National Park.
The idea of an Alta Via Canavesana was born from the Canavese sections of the Italian Alpine Club (Rivarolo Canavese, Forno Canavese, Sparone subsection).
The route, divided into 13 stages, starts and ends in Pont Canavese, touching the Val Gallenca, the Tesso and Malone valleys, the Orco and Soana Valleys, and the Sacred Valley. A connecting section is proposed that from Forno Canavese (historical starting point of the itinerary) leads to Monte Soglio joining the main route of the itinerary.
From a naturalistic point of view, from Ceresole Reale to the Soana valley, the AVC passes through the extraordinary environmental context of the Piedmontese side of the Gran Paradiso National Park, also crossing sections of the Royal hunting roads built by Vittorio Emanuele II. Along the AVC, one encounters a series of sanctuaries that hosted miraculous events (the Milani in Forno, Prascondù in Ribordone), magical places like the Piani delle Masche, enchanted villages, votive pillars, and ancient parishes (Santa Elisabetta, Santa Maria di Doblazio). In Ceresole Reale, it is possible to visit historical alpine and tourism sites in Canavese. The flora and fauna offer extraordinary close encounters with birds of prey, ibex, chamois, marmots, grazing herds, alpine blooms and beds of cotton grass, forests, and green pastures. The views are priceless: glacial lakes and imposing hydroelectric basins, rock walls, 3000-meter peaks and the 4000-meter Gran Paradiso, valleys, and hills.
Author’s recommendation
The overall route includes over thirteen thousand meters of ascent. The difficulty of the route is hiking, although some steep sections are challenging and require great attention. Only a few initial stages do not offer the possibility of overnight stays in a bivouac or refuge and therefore it is necessary to use a sleeping bag and tent. The itinerary is marked with white and red colors.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
