five beautiful routes to cycle around the J Hotel

Cycle paths in Turin: did you know that there is plenty of choice for those who love to ride on two wheels?

Turin, in fact, is a splendid destination for cycling.

The amount of cycle paths in the city is truly remarkable, and its many green spaces offer many routes suitable for bicycles, mountain bikes or even for those who want to run in the midst of nature.

Just choose one of the more than 200 total kilometers of the cycling network of the city of Turin and set off for a fun ride.

Here are five beautiful bike routes that you shouldn't miss if you feel like cycling during your stay at the J Hotel.

1. Bike paths in the Parco della Mandria

Just a step away from the J Hotel is the real green lung of the city of Turin, the immense Parco della Mandria.

A green area of about three thousand hectares in total: a more unique than rare heritage for a city, which was not by chance the first regional park established in Italy.

Here you can enjoy many bike routes (also on foot). For example, crossing the twenty kilometers that separate the Tre Cancelli entrance of the park, in Venaria Reale, to the Castle of La Mandria, where you can visit the Apartments. Royals of Vittorio Emanuele II.

Alla Mandria also has two bicycle rental service points located at the main entrances to the Park, at the Prato Pascolo farmhouse in Venaria and at the Cascina Oslera in Robassomero.

By bike you can also decide to go along the wall of the herd: the cycle / pedestrian itinerary is 37.6 kilometers long and can be covered in about three hours in a circle, starting and arriving at the entrance to the Venaria Reale park.

2. Turin cycle path along the Ceronda

A nice short stretch of cycle path (partly asphalt and partly dirt) can be done along the Ceronda stream, just about ten minutes away from the J Hotel.

Go along the north side of the ancient village of Venaria and from there you can then reach the pedestrian area that leads to the Royal Palace.

3. Bike paths in the Pellerina Park

Not far from the J Hotel in Turin there is also the Parco della Pellerina, the largest city park in Turin.

Here it is a real pleasure to ride in the green and, thanks to the already completed stretches of cycle path, it is possible to continue up to the Dora park following a green cycle path that runs along the Dora Riparia, the second river in Turin.

4. Bike paths in the Chico Mendes Park

A little less than six kilometers from the J Hotel is the Chico Mendes di Borgaro Park, where you can easily walk two stretches of asphalted cycle path that cross it in its entirety.

There is also the possibility of taking a path inside the park along the banks of the Stura di Lanzo.

If you want, once you have covered the entire park, you can continue on low-flow paths in wide streets up to the Parco della Mandria, covering another seven kilometers.

5. Crown of delights

A 112-kilometer loop cycle path (but you can decide to cover only a stretch) that can be done starting from Venaria Reale, to discover the parks around Turin, and the delights that these areas have to offer. The itinerary is very simple, almost all on asphalt, and crosses beautiful green areas: the Mandria Park, the Meisino Park, the banks of the Dora Riparia and those of the Po, with the Valentino Castle in the background.
