Begin at the parish church, which was constructed in its current form in the 17th century and later modified in the early 20th century to accommodate the road. Cross the street into the small Piazza San Giovanni. Turning around, you’ll notice the church’s 12th-century Romanesque bell tower, the oldest in the Lanzo Valleys.

From the fountain, head along a narrow lane that ascends between houses, initially paved and then turning into an unsurfaced path. Beyond the last houses, it transforms into a mule track that curves left and then right. Follow the ridge, with a steep start that becomes gentler, passing through mixed woodland mainly of beech trees. As you go through the trees, you’ll get your first views across to the other side of the Viù Valley, especially toward Rocca Moross and the Uja di Calcante.

The trail is clearly marked with red-and-white blazes on tree trunks and crosses a wide farm track multiple times, cutting across its long switchbacks. Further up, you’ll encounter the first scattered huts of the Alpe Morino. Stay on the right side, walking initially through tall beech trees and later through birches.

Cross the farm track three more times until it reaches a pair of huts. From there, climb the gentle slope through progressively more open land. The views widen, offering excellent panoramic vistas southeast toward Monte Arpone and the Colle del Lys.

The path continues through rhododendrons and scattered boulders. Above 1,500 m, you reach a shoulder offering stunning northward vistas: beyond the Rocca Moross, the ridge dividing the Orco Valley and Aosta Valley ascends in the distance, featuring the formidable outlines of Gran Paradiso and Torre del Gran San Pietro. To the west, Punta Sourela emerges into view, overshadowed by the larger Monte Torretta del Prete.

The route briefly levels out through sparse birches before rising again across open terrain. At the second shoulder (1,718 m), turn sharply right toward the now-visible summit, approaching from the north.

Just metres from the summit, the impressive arc of peaks at the head of the upper Viù Valley abruptly comes into view: a series of three-thousand-metre peaks extending from Monte Lera and Punta Sulè to Punta Croce Rossa, Punta d’Arnas, Monte Servin, and Torre d’Ovarda.

A short scramble over broken rock brings you to Punta Sourela (1,777 m), crowned by a distinctive red metal structure with a summit box and logbook. The panorama is first-rate, taking in all the peaks mentioned above and extending as far as the plains and the Canavese.

Return by the same route.
