Station: Rail, Routes and History

A line number, the Asti–Chivasso railway and route descriptions answer different planning questions. Based on the places mentioned, route length and destinations, you can weigh which of these aspects you would like to include in your travel plans.

Rail Connection and Route

GTT line 3105 serves the BROZOLO (STAZIONE FERROVIARIA) stop and runs between Chivasso and Asti. Before travelling, check the departures and whether the timetable applies on your travel date. The approximately 51-kilometre Asti–Chivasso railway, which runs through the heart of Monferrato, is a separate matter. The two details have different focuses: the line number identifies a connection with the stop mentioned; the length and route describe the railway and its regional context.

Routes through Brozolo

The Sentieri di Garibaldi e dei Cacciatori delle Alpi route passes through Brozolo and is classified as historical and nature-focused. Another route, Dalla Rul Verda alla Ro Verda, is 30 kilometres long and passes through Località Pirenta and the hamlet of Piai in Brozolo. The first description highlights the route’s classification; for the second, the stated total length and named places along the way are concrete reference points. This lets you consider the routes according to different features, rather than inferring their course from the name alone.

Sentieri di Piai e Sentieri dei Boschi also offers named reference points: from Piazza del Municipio in Grisoglio, a hamlet of Brozolo, the route heads towards Piai. About one kilometre beyond Piai, it reaches the Chiesa di Sant’Orsola. The route description thus gives a direction and a destination along the way. The distance of about one kilometre locates the church beyond Piai; the 30 kilometres, by contrast, refers to the length of the other route. These measurements answer different questions and should not be confused when comparing them.

If you are considering these routes, also bear in mind that conditions can change, and check them before setting out. When choosing between the routes described, you can use the details actually provided: the historical and nature-focused classification of one route, the length of Dalla Rul Verda alla Ro Verda, or the reference points from Grisoglio via Piai to the church.

Historic Train Journey

The historical perspective on the Ferrovia del Basso Monferrato includes a train journey with an electric locomotive and a steam locomotive, 1950s Corbellini coaches and a baggage car. Brozolo was a stop on a historic train journey. Alongside today’s timetable information for GTT line 3105, these are historical train details: the vehicles described offer a glimpse of the train’s composition at the time, while the Brozolo stop identifies it as a station on a historic journey.
