Carella: Hiking Trails and Nature Destinations

Carella can be explored through specific destinations and trail features. BIG BENCH #302 is located at the foot of Monte Soglio. When planning your trip, it is worth looking at the individual starting points, types of trails, and landscapes: the information about hikes and the MTB route describes different activities.

Hiking and MTB3 around Carella

The Carella picnic area is the starting point for a hike along a forest track towards Alpe Bellono. The MTB3 Percorso VERDE runs through the hamlet of Carella di Pratiglione at 841 m and climbs from Carella along an unpaved road to Alpe Bellono at 1,187 m. The elevations refer to two different points: 841 m for Carella and 1,187 m for Alpe Bellono. The routes also differ: the hike follows a forest track towards its destination, while the MTB3 follows an unpaved road to the Alpe. This lets you assess the destination, elevation, and surface separately.

The Sentiero del Gallo ends in Pratiglione-Carella. From Pratiglione, a road marked with a small sign leads to the Carella picnic and parking area. These two details provide different kinds of guidance: one identifies the endpoint of a route, while the other describes the signposted access road to a specific area.

Hiking Trails and Landscape

The Sentiero del Gallo is 12.4 km long, with a stated walking time of 4:10 hours. It runs along trails and unpaved roads through forests and clearings. The length describes the distance, while the stated walking time indicates the time required; the trail surfaces and landscape add to the character of the route. This makes it possible to assess the hike not only by distance and time, but also by its course through forests and clearings.

The trail to BIG BENCH #302 from the Area Carella passes through forests and clearings inhabited by wild animals. The bench is located at the foot of Monte Soglio. Unlike the Sentiero del Gallo, which is described in terms of distance and walking time, this route focuses on a single destination. This offers a clear distinction when choosing: a hiking route with stated distance and time, or a trail to a named spot at the foot of Monte Soglio.

The Cima Mares route has a distinct focus too: it offers views of the Canavese plain, the Orco Valley, and the surrounding mountains. Its views of the plain, valley, and mountains distinguish it from routes through forests and clearings. When choosing a hike, panoramas and trail surroundings provide different points of reference.

Note about the e-bike service

Carella e-bike tour offers a Jolette transport trailer for people with disabilities. This may be relevant when planning your trip if you need such a transport trailer. As availability may change, check directly with the provider before making plans to confirm whether the trailer will be available on your travel date.
