Three-arch bridge on the disused Biella-Oropa tramway

Highlight • Bridge

Having remained in operation for about fifty years, the old tramway that connected Biella and Oropa has been supplanted by a bus service. It was inaugurated on 4 July 1911 and the last race took place on 29 March 1958. Today it is wonderful to ride it on a mountain bike and this passage is one of the most fascinating.

View of Campiglia di Cervo

Highlight • Viewpoint

April 13th, just in time to pass, in the sense that the snow has melted enough to leave a gap for you to pedal; however, the road remains dirty (especially with pieces of pine copper) so you have to go down slowly, but also because it is very inclined, both on one side and the other.

September 14, 2024,Candelo(Biella) al Santuario di Oropa, galleria Rosazza, Santuario di San Giovanni.

Nice ride with the first autumn cold. Nice passage in the Rosazza tunnel, 367 meters completely in the dark that connects the sanctuary of Oropa to the sanctuary of San Giovanni.
Much less nice the crossing of Biella but our B&B was in Candelo.
