White Stones Route

DESCRIPTION

The White Stones Route is a major course composed of closely connected loops. About 50 km of tracks that go throught the territory of 11 municipalities between the provinces of Turin and Vercelli, where the famous Erbaluce vine is grown. The paths allow a soft connection among the villages of the region and, at the same time, create local loops along the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheater (AMI) route. Hikers are embraced by a peculiar environment, characterized by the mild yet so dissimilar slopes of the hills, where, over the years, different historical memories mingled with a niche agricultural heritance whose outcomes are some of the outstanding features of Piedmontes food and wine culture, protected by unique naturalistic and geomorfological landmarks.
