Serra d'Ivrea

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Serra d'Ivrea is the largest moraine construction in all of Europe. It emerges on the Po Valley like a long straight hill, like a natural bastion, a real buttress that delimits the Canavese area to the north-east and divides it from the Biella area.

Ricetto di Magnano

Highlight • Historical Site

The ricetto is a medieval structure typical of Piedmont; a medieval grouping of houses surrounded by walls where the inhabitants of the countryside took refuge in case of danger. The ricetto di Magnano is less known than that of Candelo, but it keeps very well. This complex, together with the church of S. Giovanni, is a small pearl set in the hills of the Biella area.

Footbridge over the Elvo River, Borriana

Highlight • Bridge

The footbridge crosses the Elvo stream and from Borriana connects the "bessa". At the exit of the path, turn left towards Vermogno and right towards Mongrando. Easy route.

Oropa Climb – Pantani Mountain

Highlight • Climb

The climb to Oropa is a classic for me every year I go to do it at least once, the climb is quite challenging the asphalt is in excellent condition, when you get to the top you forget all the effort admiring the beautiful Sanctuary.

Sanctuary of Oropa

Highlight • Religious Site

The Santuario di Oropa is one of the most important Marian places of worship in Piedmont, Italy, located at about 1,159 m above sea level on the mountainside of the Valle d’Oropa, just above Biella. It is famous for its religious history, imposing architecture, and the surrounding natural landscape.

Oropa Sanctuary

Highlight • Religious Site

Marian sanctuary built according to tradition in the 4th century, Oropa contains an important statue of the Black Madonna and in 1957 Pope Pius XII elevated it to a minor basilica. The climb that leads to the sanctuary was made famous by Marco Pantani's feat, perhaps the most memorable of all: in the 1999 Giro he won here with an epic comeback.

Ivrea Historic Centre and the Dora Baltea Riverside

Highlight • Historical Site

Ivrea, the cradle of the Olivetti company and its famous typewriters, is located on the right bank of the Dora Baltea, west of the Serra di Ivrea, the largest moraine wall in Europe. The silhouette of a 14th century castle rises above the city. In the upper town there is also the originally Romanesque Duomo, which was renovated in the 19th century.
On the other bank of the Dora, near Via Jervis, the old Olivetti factories have been converted into Musea dell'Architecture Moderna.
