Palazzina in Sarezzano: Churches, Routes and Enduro Trails

For your travel planning, Palazzina and Sarezzano offer several perspectives: religious history, regional products, and routes for cars, bicycles and walks on foot. This allows you to plan your stay around specific places and activities without limiting it to a single theme.

The landscape of Sarezzano

Sarezzano is located in the Tortona Hills between the Grue Valley and the hills that slope down towards the lowlands. The Palazzina area of Sarezzano is therefore set within a landscape that connects the valley and the hills.

Churches and historical connections

S. Stefano Protomartire is located in the hamlet of Rocca Grue, in the Palazzina area of Sarezzano. The medieval church of Sarezzano is associated with the discovery of the Codice Purpureo Sarzanese in 1585. After the construction of the new parish church in the 1970s, the old parish church of Sarezzano was increasingly abandoned and was opened for worship only on special occasions, such as the feast day of the patron saint.

Routes for different modes of travel

The stage route through the Colli Tortonesi can be completed by car, bicycle or on foot. The Cinghiali Trail is intended for mountain biking, e-biking, hiking and trail running, and is 1.1 miles long. The “Val Grue e Ossona - Sarezzano Enduro” loop includes three climbs, each followed by a descent.

Trail profiles and orientation on site

The Zolfo Trail is a 693.0-metre-long singletrack route. Its access point is at Monte Zerbet, the hill located directly above the Palazzina area of Sarezzano. The Madonnina Trail runs mainly through woodland over a surface ranging from firm earth to sandy ground, and features numerous bends and frequent changes in gradient. The Due Calzini Trail features banked turns, compressions, some jumps and drops.

The iBike shop is located in the Palazzina area and manages the Sarezzano Enduro routes. The range extends from the stage route, which can be completed on foot or by car, to the trails expressly intended for mountain biking, e-biking, hiking and trail running.

Regional products and routes

The Pizzeria Solo – pizze & company is located at Fraktion Palazzina 6 in Sarezzano. The Mangialonga di Sarezzano combines a hike along local routes with tastings of regional products. In addition to churches and routes, regional produce is therefore also among the themes you can consider when planning your trip.
