The Laghi di Briaglia — Ring tour is an easy 3.4-mile (5.5 km) hike in Italy's Piedmont region, offering a tranquil escape into the Monregalese countryside. You can expect a pleasant journey through lush chestnut forests and open meadows, with a total elevation gain of 425 feet (130 metres) over about 1 hour and 35 minutes. The trail's namesake, the small, quiet lakes of Briaglia, are a central feature, reflecting the surrounding vegetation and willows. As you hike, you'll encounter a mix of paved sections, dirt roads, and forest paths, providing varied terrain.
This well-marked route is generally accessible, making navigation straightforward. You will find picnic areas, such as one near San Teobaldo, and water points along the way for your convenience. The trail is known for its calm atmosphere, inviting you to slow down and appreciate the silence away from mass tourism.
Part of the larger "Sentiero del Landandè" network, this trail blends nature with local history and culture. You can discover historical points like the Chapel of Sant'Anna and the Church of San Teobaldo, with informative panels providing insights into the local geology, flora, and rural traditions. Keep an eye out for extensive panoramic views, including a viewpoint over the Alps, often featuring a popular "big bench" installation.
