    Roadbook

    From the small roundabout on via Caneva, take via ex internati and immediately after turn slightly left onto via Saint Amand en Puisaye; upon reaching a roundabout turn right onto via Nubola and at the next intersection turn left onto via Roma. Then you must cross the SP 222 (caution!) to take via Casari that runs alongside a commercial area and leads onto strada della Specca where an agricultural area begins. After just over 1 km turn left onto strada Canale Caluso which continues into the unpaved strada Carossia. 

    Then turn left onto via Molino: follow the road running alongside the canal, cross the SP 41 and then enter Agliè, passing an old Olivetti factory. Turn left onto via Giuseppe Frua, right onto via del Cimitero and left uphill (via Nazario Ivrea). Then turn right onto via Principe Tommaso (a street with arcades) to reach the square of the Agliè Castle. Continue along the road which later runs again alongside the Caluso canal (possibility to ride a cycle path for a short stretch). Upon reaching the junction with strada Luisetta, leave the road to San Giorgio and continue along the canal for several kilometers. Then you come out onto via missionari Oblati: turn right and shortly after reach the center of San Giorgio Canavese.

    Arriving opposite the Church of Santa Maria Assunta turn left onto via Camillo Benso Conte di Cavour. Then leave the center of San Giorgio, continue straight on the provincial road to Montalenghe where you turn left into the small Don G. Arvat street. Upon reaching Sp 82 turn left and continue until reaching Villate: then turn right among the houses, at the first intersection (with votive pillar) turn left and again left. Then cross the provincial road, go up a few meters to the left and enter a small street, which shortly after you leave to the right for an unpaved road entering the woods after running alongside a garden. The unpaved road ends on another unpaved road running alongside the motorway: turn left, then cross the motorway on a footbridge. The small road ends near a junction: continue straight on SP 54 which enters Cuceglio. After a large shed turn right onto via Chioso and after a climb turn left onto via Alberito. Then keep right to take the provincial road to Vialfrè. Further on turn left onto provincial road 55 and reach Vialfrè, continue along the road crossing the village and reach San Martino. At the traffic light turn right and enter the church square. Then turn left, pass beside the town hall and reach via Arduino which crosses the entire center and leads back onto provincial road 56: follow it to Silva. Then keep right at a votive pillar and enter among the houses to emerge again onto the provincial road further ahead. Near Torre Canavese turn right onto via Breia, then into piazza San Defendente up to the Church of San Grato. Descend another hundred meters and turn left onto via Isabella then right to reach SP 41. Turn left and at the roundabout turn right onto strada Bairo. In the center of Bairo keep right to take via Castellamonte: proceed straight until emerging onto SP 222 where you turn left. Continue straight and enter the center of Castellamonte to turn left onto Largo Talentino, then piazza Martiri della Libertà and the starting point.
