View of the Alps from the Baragge Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Also called "Savana del Biella". It's about the
Baraggia reserve, a large area ideal for horseback riding, walking, mountain biking or gravel riding.
It is a particular territory located on a wild and suggestive plateau called Baraggione: a vast area of approximately 5000 hectares, in the shape of a triangle, with very particular geological and botanical characteristics.
There are numerous paths, including circular ones, shaded by centuries-old oak trees, in some panoramic points over the Cervo stream.
