    Parking is at the entrance to the village of Venaus, near the statue of a large stag. From the road you can directly enter the owl path, which gently climbs through wooded areas and meadows, or enter the village along Via Roma and, after the parish church, turn left onto Via Perosa and then left again onto Via Giaglione, rejoining the classic route. After the hairpin bend of Via Giaglione on the road, you return to the woods and continue the ascent until you reach the connecting road between the villages of Venaus and Giaglione. Crossing this road, continue with a series of four hairpin bends plus another two after about 700 meters. You then reach the Titabò Chapel, the end point of the excursion.

    Author’s recommendation

    To increase the chances of spotting owls, it is recommended to walk the path at dusk.
