MEMORIAL LUCIANO CURNIS

In the town of Biencà, a hill running race on roads or pathways. 

The route of this race, set between mountain and hills, was suggested by the same Luciano, and mirrors his routine practice run route, developed after many years of combinations and intersections of different lengths, among the small country roads of Chiaverano and Montalto.

Montresco Ring

The pathway skirts along the Maresco di Bienca, a lake watershed that during the Roman Era was used to bring water from the hill towards the city of Ivrea. The ruins of the Roman aqueduct are still partially visible: the outside is made with split stones and mortar, the inside instead is made of “cocciopesto” (crumbled bricks mixed with lime).

MORENIC TRAIL

The Morainic Trail entirely runs the moraine perimeter, remaining after the Balteo glacier withdrawal at the end of the last glaciation. You start from Andrate, on the NE tip, to then arrive at Brosso, on the NW tip, after more than 110 Km, travelling through the Canavese woods that cover the gigantic Morainic front.

maximum time 24 hours.

This is the Morainic Trail, individual, in couples or relay race in the wonderful scenario of the Morainic Amphitheatre of …

MTB exploration

The Serra: on one side the steep rampart overhangs the plane of the morainic bowl, on the other side the infinite system of morainic sediments that follow each other

fading into the Biellese. Luminous woods of chestnuts alternate with dense pine forests furrowed with fire cutting pathways that cross paths for mushrooms and signs of antique torrents: an apparently indecipherable labyrinth that renews the fun of exploration with each pedal stroke, in an environment …

OLIMPIC TRIATHLON

The event involves the municipalities of Andrate, Borgofrancod’Ivrea, Chiaverano,Ivrea and Nomaglio. Sprint distance to begin with (750 m of swimming, 21.4 km on bike and 4.9 km of running), however the area and the itinerary make it possible to speculate about an Olympic future. The bike segment is the hardest, with 850 m of positive height gain, suitable for those who appreciate a route where it is possible to show your own skills as a cyclist.

Orientamondo

The conformation of the environment surrounding Cuceglio is optimal to become the first Orienteering Map of Piedmont. Specifically, territory characteristics that summarise in close proximity different aspects that were ideal to express an Orienteering map. The alternate farmed areas and wide wooded areas, characterised by different degrees of practicability, unpaved roads that become pathways, more or less beaten, define a suttle plot where it is possible to lay a …

Rio Piovano

The course of the Rio Piovano can be taken in ascent or descent. Choosing the descent, in order to start the itinerary it is necessary to undertake the road between farms that ascends from Tavagnasco to the Santa Maria MaddalenaaiPiani chapel. At the altitude of the farmhouses of Lower Usseglio (1112 m) you leave the road between farms and passing downstream from the homes you can enter the pathway that brings to the Salero grange. In approximately 15’ you reach …

Road cycling

The bicycle seat is the “first seat row” from where it is possible to enjoy both a sports adventure and an immersion in the culture and landscape: cyclists don’t just see the area, they become part of it, enjoying a closeness that is unknown by motorised tourists. A bicycle ride in the Amphitheater offers the cyclist a rich menu he can choose from: tough pedaling with hard ascents up to the flatlands in complete relax, surrounded by many opportunities to know the …

Takeoff point of San Giacomo of Andrate

The takeoff point of San Giacomo, above the village of Andrate, is a terrace over the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre (IMA) and on clear days you can even see the most hidden corners of it. Away from the most frequented trails, San Giacomo is an oasis of tranquillity frequented mainly by song birds, wild animals and delta pilots and paragliders. The takeoff point is well suited for both gliders and paragliders, it has been used for over thirty five years for this …

The Secce

The plains and the intra-morainic peat bogs of Vialfrè are a unique environment. An environment at a 425 m altitude characterised by a cold microclimate with temperatures that in the Winter are similar to those of mid mountain and provide significant snow compared to areas surrounding the AMI. This is one of the frosty hollows, the so called cold air lakes that you can often find in the Baltee intra-morainic valleys that are less exposed to sunshine. This natural …
