The route connects the Santhià train station to the Oropa Sanctuary on a route that after crossing the agricultural plain and the forests of the Serra Morenica, reaches the Alps. On the way back, the loop is closed by passing through Biella and the Bessa Natural Reserve.
The cycle path can be covered in two, three or four stages and, being a loop, there is no obligatory starting and ending point, leaving complete freedom to those who want to discover the area. This also allows you to start directly from the rental point so if you have to rent a bike we recommend that you first reserve it and then modulate your trip according to your starting point.
For most of the trip you ride on secondary roads (90% paved, 10% unpaved) with very little traffic. This is not a bike path, but an itinerary on roads that can also be traveled by car; therefore, it is not suitable for families with children.
We are a social cooperative-tour operator, a network of individuals and associations in Italy and around the world. Our story began in the late 1990s, when a handful of people began to question the meaning of mass tourism. Traveling and getting to know projects related to fair trade gave birth to the idea of starting a social enterprise that would disrupt the paradigms of tourism and work in direct contact with the civil society of the places visited, with people and associations directly involved in development projects.
Our progress is slow but deliberate.
