Hiking

Easy route suitable for the whole family, perhaps just a little long, more than 12 km. You first skirt one bank and then the other of the Po river. Starting from Villafranca you arrive at Cardè, and then go back by changing bank of the Po. The route is well marked by the silhouettes of ducklings

Embark on the Ochette Trail, a moderate hike that guides you through a diverse landscape of shady poplar groves, plain woods, and cultivated fields, all while tracing the Po River. You will discover small beaches along the river and cross streams and canals via practical iron walkways, offering unique views. This 7.9-mile (12.7 km) route involves a gentle elevation gain of just 86 feet (26 metres), making it accessible for many. Plan for about 3 hours and 13 minutes to complete this scenic journey.

When planning your visit, you will find the Ochette Trail to be a well-maintained loop, clearly marked with distinctive goose-shaped signs and kilometer markers, ensuring easy navigation. It is considered suitable for all ages and fitness levels, including children, making it a great family outing. While generally flat, some sections along the riverbanks might require a bit more attention due to potential erosion, so comfortable footwear is recommended for your comfort and safety.

This trail offers more than just natural beauty; keep an eye out for local avifauna like ducks, herons, and colorful bee-eaters, especially along the riverbanks. As you hike, you might also encounter unexpected sculptures and a reconstructed ancient wooden river ferry, adding unique cultural touches to your experience. The route is part of the Parco del Monviso in Piedmont, Italy, providing a wonderful opportunity to connect with the region's natural and historical elements.
