Monte Freidour Allied Airmen Memorial
Highlight • Monument
If you make a ring as per gpx excursion completed it is good to have sticks for the more sensitive to the steep descent on rocks hidden under residual foliage and slippery soil. Alternatively, go back until just below the Sperina hill and take the path to Rifugio Melano Casa Canada to be able to make a ring anyway.
Ring from Borgata Dairin going up the path to Colle Ciardonet, then Path 049 SDB, named after David Bertrand, young AIB - Anti Forest Fires (who died in the Park of Monte San Giorgio di Piossasco during the fire of 1999), for Colle Sperina and Monte Freidour where we had our lunch break in the presence of the sun with a 360 ° view of the Alps and the Turin plain.
On the summit of the mountain and at Colle Sperina there is the eternal memory in memory of the eight allied aviators who died in the night between 13 and 14 October 1944, in the impact of the four-engine B24 Liberator KH-239 of the South African Air Force against the summit of the Freidour, in flight to bring weapons and supplies to the partisans in action in the Vigone area.
The crew consisted of South African, British, Scottish and Australian aviators aged between 20 and 24.
Then continued on the path between ups and downs to Colle Aragno Occidentale and down to the Melano Refuge (Canada House of the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics) and continued on the dirt road to Colle Ciardonet (always up / down) and from here return to Dairin to the parking lot Sbarua, very large, sunny and outside the township (so yes, it requires a little more road and height difference to cover).
