The erratic boulders of Vialfrè
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Easy
Description
The Vialfrè erratic boulders trail winds along the moraine of the Ivrea Moraine Amphitheater, an area characterized by fascinating rock formations dating back to the Pleistocene period. These large blocks have always aroused human interest, not least because of their ancient use as altars. The route starts from the center of Vialfrè, near the Church of St. Peter and Paul, and passes through cultivated areas with splendid views of Cuceglio, then enters the woods. The trail, easy but not suitable for those with mobility difficulties, leads to a loop with nine observation points dedicated to the boulders. The trail has recently been improved thanks to the Proloco of Vialfrè and the Canavese Resource Fund, with new signage and an overall enhancement of the experience.

Guide
Luca
I spent a short part of my childhood in Pragelato, surrounded by fresh milk and larch forests. The sound of the streams, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and the pristine view of a snow-capped peak have stayed with me. The mountains, the trails, and the paths are my playground; the forests are where I rejuvenate, and I love sharing the incredible stories they hold. I am a certified Hiking Guide and a Nordic Walking Instructor with the SINW. I enjoy combining my passion for outdoor activities with a dedication to nature and environmental awareness. I'm a guide for Pro Natura Torino, I participate in trail maintenance activities, and collaborate with the Amici Ambiente group of Baldissero Torinese. For over ten years, I've led children and families along trails and to mountain huts. I'm CAI-qualified as a Sectional Youth Alpinism Leader. I practice, and have practiced, every sport that connects me with the mountains and nature: trail running, climbing, skiing, cycling tourism, and mountain biking, always with an ethical and respectful attitude towards nature, its inhabitants, and fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
