Discover Pino Torinese: Nature Trails, Museums and Culture

Three travel interests take center stage around Pino Torinese: landscape, outdoor activities and culture. The natural surroundings, trails of varying lengths and museums in and around the town give your travel plans different focuses, without requiring you to limit yourself to just one type of experience.

Natural surroundings between protected area and biosphere

A significant part of the municipality of Pino Torinese lies within the Parco Naturale della Collina di Superga. The nature park is also designated as a Zona Speciale di Conservazione. It covers 801.95 hectares across the municipalities of Baldissero Torinese, Pino Torinese, San Mauro Torinese and Turin. Pino Torinese is also one of the 86 municipalities included in the Riserva di Biosfera CollinaPo. This makes it clear that the landscape around the town is an independent focus when planning your trip.

Trails with different time requirements

The hill trails around Pino Torinese pass through a comparatively unspoiled natural landscape close to the city. Trail no. 40 leads from Pino at an altitude of 479 meters through the forests of Eremo to Reaglie at 305 meters. It is 6.9 kilometers long, takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, and is partially marked.

Trail 41 also leads from Pino at 479 meters via Madonna della Scala to Chieri at 280 meters. It is 13 kilometers long, and the duration is estimated at 5 hours and 25 minutes. The Sentiero dei Pianeti takes approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes. The three routes therefore differ significantly in length and time required. This makes it easier to assess your options if you want to include either a shorter outing or a considerably longer hike in your trip.

Museums, everyday history and evening tours

Since 2004, the Museo delle Contadinerie e della Cultura Materiale, or MuC for short, has been located in Valle Ceppi. It preserves objects used in agriculture and in the homes of Pino Torinese from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The focus is therefore on rural working and living environments, not just on representative buildings.

Astronomical topics are also part of Pino Torinese's cultural surroundings. The Osservatorio Astrofisico di Torino offers the public guided evening tours approximately once a month. The Planetario di Torino, a museum, and the Museo dell'Astronomia e dello Spazio, also a museum, are also located in the immediate vicinity of Pino Torinese. Villa Moglia is a palace in the immediate vicinity of Pino Torinese. The Museo del Tessile is a museum in the immediate vicinity of Pino Torinese. This allows you to combine nature and hiking days with a range of cultural interests.
