The best MTB trails around Bard

Pier on the lake with excellent views for photos

From the catwalk, we saw the catfish slowly emerging from the water and then sinking again (impressive, it can reach 2.5 meters in length and 130 kg) 29/11/25

Beautiful walkway from where you can admire Lake Sirio!

Regardless of whether you reach the Serra di Ivrea or not, even wandering around these lakes, taking advantage of the good signage present, pays off! There is a nice variety of environments and paths, from single track to dirt road, ending on cobblestone sections, never too banal, especially in the wet... the lake environments are beautiful, given that most of these lakes are not very urbanized, the stilt houses rebuilt on the shore of Lake Pistono are very beautiful, they certainly deserve a stop. Places also suitable for children, given that in the lake area the differences in altitude are very modest... just watch out for hikers, because the paths are open to everyone!

technical route, with little time available it's perfect!

Unique place in Piedmont, the rest in the details for those who are interested..

The TAVAGNASCO PUMP TRACK is located just 30 minutes by car from Turin and is a tourist-sports infrastructure with parabolic curves, whoops and jumps that can be tackled with a bike, rollers, skateboard or scooter. You can speed along two tracks: a track of about 90 meters for children and beginners and a path of about 220 m for adults or experts. Access to the tracks with any means (bike, skateboard, etc.) is RESERVED FOR MEMBERS (membership at the ticket offices) who wear a HELMET. On the track you can use suitable bicycles (BMX, Dirt, MTB) with a working rear brake, skateboards, rollers and suitable scooters, in good condition. Possibility of renting bikes + helmets + protections with Bmx and Dirt bike (specific bikes for pump activity). All areas of the facility are accessible to people with disabilities as all the differences in level have standard ramps and slopes that can be easily tackled by aids and wheelchairs.

The Roman road of the Gauls, built to connect Rome with the Rhone Valley, has in the Donnas section one of its most characteristic and spectacular points, carved into the living rock for a length of 221 meters. At a place where in antiquity the rocky promontory plunged into the waters of the Dora, the Romans launched a real challenge to nature by carving a living rock on which they could draw perfectly vertical walls and in whose womb they carved the roadbed. Exciting and unusual, here the Via delle Gallie gives its best by offering the spectacle of a vaulted passage 4 meters thick, 4 meters high and almost 3 meters wide which eloquently illustrates the amount of rock removed and shows all the refinement of a road engineering that has never been reached again until viaducts and modern tunnels. In the Middle Ages it served as the gate of the village, which was closed at night; the other defenses were natural: on one side the mountain and on the other the river. A fundamental road, which has been used a lot over the centuries, as evidenced by the deep ruts left by the passage of carts and the wear of the walking surface which has been patched and repaired at various points over time. A little further on, on the right, we recognize the excellent profile of a milestone, also spared in the rocky bank, which informs us of the distance to Augusta Praetoria (the current city of Aosta): XXXVI miles (about 54 km).
