Beautiful Panorama! Steep climbs in the last section from Frassinetto

In reality, this place is not so "flat" because, from when the slopes become less steep to when the descent begins, there will not even be a hundred meters ... but the environment is superb, high mountain, and makes up for the road that, especially towards Frassinetto, is not in such good condition. There is nothing, not a bar, not a fountain ... but it is worth stopping and admiring the splendid panorama. Going up from Frassinetto the slope, after the village, becomes discontinuous and challenging, more gradual if you go up from Colleretto Castelnuovo, where the road alternates beautiful hairpin bends in the woods ... however, it is not a gift from this side either!

Pian del Lupo ideal starting point to reach both Quinseina peaks.

To reach the 2,231 meters of altitude of Punta Quinseina Sud, also known as Punta Quinseina di Santa Elisabetta, you follow a beautiful path which, although not particularly difficult, has quite steep sections, sometimes on stony ground, and starts from Pian del Lupo. If the mists allow it, the panorama from this point is extraordinary, ranging from the Canavese plain to the Alps. However, even more fascinating is the somewhat exposed path along the ridge that leads to the northern tip. Running along the ridge is an amazing experience!
