Round route that, following the entire morainic ring of the ancient Balteo Glacier, connects fascinating and authentic places in the eastern part of Canavese. History, art, culture, and food and wine intertwine to offer a varied and rich experience full of suggestions.
200 km of little-traveled roads, villages, towns, lakes, morainic hills, lavish castles, and everything this territory has to offer. The erratic boulders and the overwhelming nature of the Western Moraine, the Romanesque parish churches and the vineyards of that unique place called La Serra, the numerous lakes and resulting microclimates that allow the cultivation of important vineyards such as Nebbiolo from Carema and Erbaluce from Caluso, the rural world of Valchiusella, the ceramics of Castellamonte, without forgetting all the gastronomic specialties.
Variety distinguishes this route, biodiversity and habitats that can be explored on a path never excessively steep and that presents no technical or excessively rough unpaved sections.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
