Discover Airali: Hiking, Culture and Rural Paths

Airali combines a rural hiking experience with specific cultural points of interest. Farmhouses, hamlets, votive pillars and religious buildings give the area its distinctive character; museums, gardens and a park broaden the range of options for different interests. This allows you to plan your stay around the landscape, local agriculture and culture, rather than limiting it to just one attraction.

Hiking between farmhouses and hamlets

In 2026, the Chieri Outdoor Experience program includes the “Di nettare in nettare” hike in Airali, with stops at local farms. One specific date is Saturday, September 19, 2026: as part of this hike, a visit to the Chiesa di San Pietro in Vincoli in the Airali hamlet is included. The combination of hiking and cultural highlights particularly appeals to travelers who like to structure their stay around physical activity and regional impressions.

The hike passes the farmhouses of Tetti Venè and several votive pillars. In the center of the Canarone hamlet, it reaches a fountain and an old farmhouse. It also descends in the direction of the Tetti Grondana experimental farm. In Borgata Canarone, there is an opportunity to visit the orchards of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences’ experimental farm in Tetti Grondana. Agriculture and the rural landscape thus become visible at several specific points along the experience.

Churches and local culture

The Chiesa di San Pietro in Vincoli has a distinctive onion-shaped bell tower. Another cultural trace is the Cappella dell’Annunziata della Cascina Savio: it was restored and reconsecrated after the Savio family acquired the farmhouse in 1925. Both buildings add independent architectural and historical points of reference to the agriculturally influenced sections of the route.
