The arrival point of the vertical km, with the Madonna della Neve chapel placed at the top and which can be visited freely, is the most important tooth of the 3, which make up the district of the 3 teeth of Cumiana. From Colle della Bessa, the climb is very steep and at times on stony ground with a stretch of fixed rope at the end, but in the absence of ice, snow or wet rock, it remains a difficult climb.

Not only the source of the Torrente Chisola, but you can borrow books at about 1140 hm (free books in the mountains :-) ). Unfortunately, I can't judge whether the spring has drinking water. To be on the safe side, I didn't drink it. In any case, my dog liked it, and it was definitely a cooling foot (paw) bath.

On Mount Freidour there is often wind and it is the usual place for those who practice paragliding. If you make a ring as per gpx excursion completed it is good to have sticks for the more sensitive to the steep descent on rocks hidden under residual foliage and slippery soil. Alternatively, go back until just below the Sperina hill and take the path to Rifugio Melano Casa Canada to be able to make a ring anyway. Ring from Borgata Dairin going up the path to Colle Ciardonet, then Path 049 SDB, named after David Bertrand, young AIB - Anti Forest Fires (who died in the Park of Monte San Giorgio di Piossasco during the fire of 1999), for Colle Sperina and Monte Freidour where we had our lunch break in the presence of the sun with a 360 ° view of the Alps and the Turin plain. On the summit of the mountain and at Colle Sperina there is the eternal memory in memory of the eight allied aviators who died in the night between 13 and 14 October 1944, in the impact of the four-engine B24 Liberator KH-239 of the South African Air Force against the summit of the Freidour, in flight to bring weapons and supplies to the partisans in action in the Vigone area. The crew consisted of South African, British, Scottish and Australian aviators aged between 20 and 24. Then continued on the path between ups and downs to Colle Aragno Occidentale and down to the Melano Refuge (Canada House of the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics) and continued on the dirt road to Colle Ciardonet (always up / down) and from here return to Dairin to the parking lot Sbarua, very large, sunny and outside the township (so yes, it requires a little more road and height difference to cover).

The Forestry Barracks, built in the '30s by the "Forest Militia", was a partisan base in the war of liberation, then until 1985 it was used by the Forestry Corps, finally, after being sold to the Municipality, it was recovered and destined for a home. of the Park and reception center for didactic activities, naturalistic research and as a logistic base for the park's supervisory body. It is currently closed. source: www.parks.it Municipality of the Park: Cumiana, piazza Martiri III Aprile, 3 10040 Cumiana (TO) TEL: 011 9059001 - 011 9058968 www.comune.cumiana.to.it

Beautiful walk, suitable for any season of the year. Watch out for the processionary moth in spring, at the beginning of the path starting from the Ciardonet hill you can see several nuclei near the path. The continuation of the excursion is also beautiful, which with a long ridge leads to Mount Tredenti.
