The Historical Museum of the Cavalry in Pinerolo, a symbolic city of the Italian Cavalry, houses a vast collection that covers three centuries of history. It displays uniforms, photographs, paintings, sculptures, dioramas and models, including a reconstruction of the Battle of Waterloo. It celebrates the School of Cavalry and the exploits of Captain Caprilli, world master of horsemanship. Considered one of the richest military museums in Europe, it can be visited all year round. It is absolutely worth a stop!

Prarostino is a small hilly municipality in the lower Val Pellice, overlooking the Pinerolo plain and surrounded by woods, orchards and ancient villages. Its territory preserves a strong memory of the Resistance, with numerous memorial stones and tombstones that tell its story. Prarostino is an interesting crossroads for mixed terrain itineraries, alternating paths, dirt roads and asphalted stretches.

On the old railway (now cycle path) Airasca-Moretta, the former railway toll booth of Vigone has been revisited in a modern key to welcome cycle tourists in the small town with an enviable look. Restyling performed by the artist Coco Cano.

An 18th century chapel, typical of rural Piedmont, located at the gates of Airasca, just off the Risorgive cycle path. It is worth a short detour. If you wish, from the chapel you can take alternative roads, without traffic, that lead either to the start of the cycle path, or to the Airasca station.

Originally a railway bridge, now incorporated into the cycle path of the springs. It offers a beautiful view of the river, both downstream and upstream (upstream the view is a bit blocked by the guard rails, but it is still beautiful). Worth a stop.

One of the springs that give the name to the nearby cycle path. Not always active, as it is a rising groundwater table, and in periods of drought it is dry: but when there is water, it is a spectacle. Nearby, a beautiful green area. Nice stopover point.

Beautiful bike path. Avoid Sunday afternoons, too many people out and about (on foot).
