A wild and evocative bike route that leads through woods and historic wool mills, up to the Fabbrica della Ruota, Casa Zegna, and Borgosesia.
This bike route is the wildest and most scenic of the Woolscape trails.
The route crosses untouched environments and landscapes rich in memory: dense woods, mountain villages, and evidence of industrial archaeology, now repurposed for new cultural uses. It touches iconic places of Biella’s productive area, such as the Fabbrica della Ruota in Pray, the monumental Villa Giletti, the historic Casa Zegna, and the imposing chimneys of the wool mills of Coggiola and Borgosesia, true totems of a changing working landscape.
It is a route for those seeking authentic emotions, unexpected landscapes, and the history of Biellese textiles immersed in nature.
