Grande Traversata del Biellese: Stage 3 Torrazzo - Viverone (Borgata Rolle)

Highlights and tour details

Having descended towards the bottom of the valley, we skirt the campsite to climb up to a hillock, and keep left at a crossroads. A lovely flat cart track runs through a dense chestnut wood until it meets an asphalt road, where we turn left and immediately right to reach Magnano and cross the lovely historical centre. Leaving the village, following via Roma, along the provincial road for Cerrione, on the left we see the complex of the Monastery of Bose and, at the end of the straight stretch, we leave the asphalt road for a beautiful road that crosses the wood and arrives to Zimone. Having crossed the provincial Biella-Zimone road, we take the unpaved provincial road that joins Zimone and Viverone; once out of the forest, a vineyard area awaits us from where we can admire a lovely view of the lake of Viverone. We take an asphalt road and go downhill to the lovely wash-house of Borgata Rolle of Viverone, where the stage ends. Turning right, instead, we can visit the historical centre of Viverone and go down to the lake for a refreshing swim.
