Bistagno

Description

Let yourself be guided by the slow rhythm of your steps, on a loop trip which is much more than a simple hike. The Loop of Bistagno speaks to the heart, a mix of ancient paths, silent forests, tidy vineyards and unlimited views that suddenly open up and surprise the soul.
From the historical square of the village, the hike makes its way among fields and farms, climbing gently among the oak, hazelnut and chestnut trees. At the top of Bricco Della Croce, the gaze is lost among the Monferrato hills and the distant peaks of the Alps. And when you reach the Big Bench, time seems to stop: the ideal moment to take a deep breath and feel at one with a regenerating landscape.
This 15 km trail is designed for those who love walking without haste, following the beat of nature. The perfumes of the forest, the rustling leaves, the song of a stream... each step is a meeting with the essential.
An experience for those wishing to rediscover themselves through walking, among rural memories and bright horizons and encounter two gems, the Giulio Monteverde plaster cast gallery and the Church of San Francesco in Cassine. Perfect in spring and in early autumn when the light caresses the hills and the colors become intense.
