The square of Mocchie, enhanced by the evocative statue dedicated to the labors of the farming world and dominated by the beautiful baroque-style church, is the ideal starting point for numerous excursions, both towards the hamlets around Mocchie, and towards the Alotto, Frassiniere and Prarotto area, locations reachable by beautiful mule tracks also suitable for MTB. There is a small parking lot, a fountain, benches and, not too far away, a bar that becomes an excellent meeting point for after-hikes!

This cycle path, part of several networks (Ciclostrada Segreta del Diacono Martino, AIDA, Via Francigena, etc.), connects Vaie to Chiusa San Michele, passing along quiet roads halfway up the hillside, with a pleasant up-and-down ride through the trees. On holidays, the roads are closed to motorized traffic. This stretch in particular is very pleasant.

A town that appears flatter on the map, actually climbs quite steeply. The town's centerpiece is the Church of San Giorgio, at the foot of the castle—ancient, but with a 19th-century appearance (though still very beautiful). In front of the church is an interesting fountain, although unfortunately the water isn't drinkable. No problem, there's a smaller fountain 50 meters away in the direction of Alpignano. Is it worth leaving home to go there specifically? Maybe not. Is it worth a detour if you're in the area? Definitely.
