Come and discover this wonderful territory
Whether you’re addicted to sport or longing for peace and quiet, this area will satisfy your needs (Questa te l’avevo messa per sbaglio nel testo di prima, ma va qui). You can enjoy unique experiences in well conserved nature; drive along little known roads, such as the “Tracciolino” panoramic road straddling the Biellese Prealps and the Po valley plains; explore the many alpine sanctuaries, such as the famous Santuario di Oropa, whose “Sacred Mount” was granted UNESCO heritage status in 2003; visit hauntingly beautiful castles and country houses; stay in enchanting resorts and discover the sumptuous local food & wine heritage!
The spectacular springtime blossoming of hydrangeas, rhododendrons and countless species of alpine flora, the luxuriant green and cooling shelter of the woodlands in summer, the dazzling yellows, oranges and reds of the beechwood foliage in autumn, the whiteness of snow and a piping hot polenta concia around the fire in tiny hotels that make you feel at home sheltering from the winter cold…. Every season is a good excuse for an immersive trip in Biella province!
