Tips from the Community
Accessible by car via a somewhat narrow but recently restored paved road, it is in excellent condition. Ample parking is available. It has a barbecue and picnic area. It's also an excellent starting point for reaching the surrounding peaks.

Easily accessible on a paved road (unfortunately). Breathtaking view of the plain. In May, the spectacle of the daffodils blooming is unmissable.

Pian delle Nere is a large flat space on the slopes of Mount Verzel from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Canavese and Serra. The area is equipped with picnic tables. In the first days of May the meadows around the area are colored white thanks to the flowering of daffodils. The equipped area can be reached from Castelnuovo Nigra, continuing towards Palasot and then following the signs for the "le Nere" equipped area, passing in front of the church of the Madonna dell Visitazione. From here we continue for a couple of kilometers on a narrow road with several single-lane points up to a saddle that is still a little wild but with very suggestive views. From here the road becomes a dirt road and then becomes a path and climbs towards the Fornetto refuge (2130 m) and the Verzel peak (2406 m). In this period the traditional Narcissus Festival is held in Castelnuovo Nigra which includes two days of celebration in the town. Singing groups will parade through the streets of the town, where they will find stalls selling artisanal, food and non-food products, a photographic exhibition, a drawing competition and food stands. And then welcome, flowers, tastings for everyone... https://turismo.unionevallesacra.to.it/pian-delle-nere/

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!

A plateau overlooking Mount Calvo, from here the hiking trails lead to the refuges and peaks. It's worth the extra effort to stop at the Pic Nic area before enjoying one of the slopes, there is also a playground with a fantastic view of the Canavese area.
