Lago Grande di Avigliana

Of morainic origin like the nearby Lago Piccolo di Avigliana, the Lago Grande is a typical tourist destination for many people who want to take a trip out of town from Turin. Of particular interest on the shores of Lago Grande is the Sanctuary of the Madonna dei Laghi.

Lakeside Cycle Path at the Lago Piccolo di Avigliana

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path on the east bank of Lago Piccolo di Avigliana joins the lakefront roundabout (Avigliana/Giaveno/Trana intersection) to the bar and parking lot at the southern end. The concrete bottom is in very good condition (built in early 2022). The cycle path is surrounded by plants along its entire length, so it is relatively cool even in summer. It offers beautiful views of the lake. The vegetation on the sides is poorly maintained, so it overflows the track, but it doesn't bother you.

Lakes of Avigliana

Highlight • Lake

The Avigliana lakes natural park is a treasure chest of biodiversity and represents a notable resource for Avigliana, both from an environmental and tourist point of view. The park is made up of three ecosystems: the two lakes, the Mareschi swamp and the moraine hills. The lakes are the only ones surviving among those formed following the last two great Pleistocene glaciations in the Susa valley. The Sacra di San Michele dominates this protected area from above, recalling that, since the year 1000, it has represented the point of reference for every person on a pilgrimage who crossed the Alps towards Rome or the Holy Land.

View of Sacra di San Michele

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this panoramic point near the Basinatto village it is possible to observe the Sacra di San Michele in all its splendor. Perched on the summit of Mount Pirchiriano, the Sacra is one of the symbols of Piedmont and is located right at the beginning of the Susa valley. It is said that Umberto Eco drew inspiration from the Sacra di San Michele for the famous abbey in the novel "The Name of the Rose".
