    The territory of this ring is one of the most fascinating in Canavese, characterized by a mixture of hills, lakes, historic villages, and natural areas. The Serra Morenica of Ivrea is a glacial moraine relief and represents the border of Canavese with Biellese.

    The area is predominantly hilly, with slopes alternating with valleys dotted with vineyards, woods, and cultivated fields. The moraine-origin lakes, such as Lake Viverone, Lake Pistono, and Lake Sirio, create small natural oases and green areas ideal for walks and picnics.

    From the higher hills, there is a panoramic view of the Alps and the surrounding plain. The route is based on the millennial Via Francigena, as evidenced by the numerous Romanesque churches present in the area.
