CUMIANA Amphitheater Path

Starting from piazza Martiri 3 aprile in the town center and taking via Chisola, immediately turn left onto via Pontera, a road that then becomes a path climbing towards the hamlets of Tricca, Franchini, and Berga. From here, a long section on gentle slopes first leads to Canalassa (fountain) and then to the Roch Uss hill (monolith). Continuing, you go around the Truc le Creste on the north side to reach the Colletta di Cumiana (chapel). Upon reaching the Fiola hamlet, a long stretch of ups and downs begins, crossing several characteristic mountain hamlets on the borders of the Monte Tre Denti and Freidour Natural Park, covering much of the mountain arc and touching important historical sites such as the ruins of the ancient castle (Costa district), the millenary bell tower (S. Gervasio hamlet), and the sanctuary of S. Valeriano. A final, flatter stretch of road leads back to the town center.
