Embark on the Cammino Don Bosco from Turin to Superga, a challenging hike that covers 17.6 miles (28.3 km) with a significant elevation gain of 1862 feet (568 metres). This difficult route typically takes around 8 hours and 9 minutes to complete, guiding you from the city's historic core into the peaceful hills. You will experience a varied landscape, transitioning from urban streets with their grand architecture to natural trails winding through parks and wooded areas, offering expansive views over the Po valley.
To begin your journey, head to the Santuario Maria Ausiliatrice in Turin's Valdocco district, the official starting point. The trail is accessible via public transport, making it convenient to reach without a car. As you progress, you will find the path alternates between paved city sections and more natural, unpaved trails. Be prepared for a full day of hiking, and consider an early start to make the most of the daylight hours.
This route offers a unique blend of cultural immersion and natural beauty, tracing a path significant to Saint John Bosco. You will walk through Turin's bustling heart, passing landmarks like the large Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the Chiesa della Gran Madre di Dio, before ascending towards the iconic Basilica of Superga. The journey highlights the historical connection between Turin's vibrant urban life and the serene surrounding hills, where Don Bosco's legacy of education took root.
