Valvestino

From Piazza Madonna Pellegrina (0,0 km), in the centre of Turano, after paying a visit to the parish church where you will enjoy a beautiful view of the valley, cycle down the provincial road to the crossroad for Armo (0,6 km), then ride on the steep road on the left. After a few hairpin bends (3,7 km), you will reach the small village of Armo. Its narrow streets will lead you to an ancient fountain and a church on the other side of the village, where the asphalted road turns into an untarmacked road. The trail continues along the valley of Armarolo stream, where on the first part you will reach the riverbed, then cycling uphill you may enjoy the splendid water sprites designed by nature through erosion over the millennia. Once in Ponte Franato village (7,0 km), beyond the bridge, cycle uphill on the road that covers the western side of the valley, until you reach the highest point of the excursion path (1100 m asl) close by a clearing called Messane (9,5 km). Here the view covers the mounts surrounding Valvestino area. At the crossroads, where the road is asphalted, follow the indications to the village of Persone. Cycling downhill, you will reach the small borough perched on the bend of the main road going to Turano. Through Persone (11,7 km) cycling uphill this time on an asphalted road, you will reach Moerna (14,0 km). Beyond this village, on the left of the provincial road there is the ancient road from Turano to Moerna (14,5 km) of which only a rough terrain remains, going through the wood and clearings. In 2 km you will reach once again the main square of Turano (16,5 km).
