THE ROMANTIC BIELLA AREA
In a very simple route, with little difference in height, between views of the Biellese Alps and the Ligurian Alps, we walk the Tracciolino from the Sanctuary of Oropa to the locality of “Bossola”, above the Sanctuary of Graglia. We reach the Pianetti refuge and continue to Trappa, an ancient Trappist convent where we can taste typical local products, before returning to Oropa.

“BIELLA EDEN”
.An itinerary through history takes us to the Serra d’Ivrea, the largest glacial moraine in Europe.

We reach the highest point of the moraine at the Castello Rubino di Croceserra, where we will stop for a light lunch.

E-BIKE IN THE BIELLA SAVANNAH

From Cascina Foresto we set off on e-bikes on paths suitable for everyone, with varying degrees of difficulty, and we reach the Ricetto di Candelo, one of the best examples of medieval recipes preserved in Europe. We return to the starting point to leave the bikes and go to Castellengo Castle, where we will visit the cellars and taste local wines and products.
