Tips from the Community

Luca Ptarmigan 🚵🏻‍♂️🥾🗺️
April 14, 2026, Lago Cossavella

The Lago di Cossavela is a hidden gem of the Serra Morenica, nestled between the municipalities of Zimone and Viverone 🌊🌿. More than an open lake, it is a suggestive body of water surrounded by reeds and dense woods, making it a paradise for birdwatching and for those who love absolute silence 🦆📸. It is a wild and little-visited place, where nature reigns supreme and the reflections of the trees on the water create an almost mysterious atmosphere 🍃✨.

Il Ricetto di Magnano is a 12th-century fortified village that seems suspended in time, located on the crest of the Serra Morenica 🏰. Unlike the more famous Ricetto di Candelo, this one retains a more intimate, wild, and authentic atmosphere 🌿. Strolling through its narrow cobbled streets and ancient stone houses, you'll be surrounded by an almost magical silence 🤫. The highlight is the entrance tower-gate, which still welcomes visitors today, projecting them directly into the Middle Ages 🛡️.

Wikipedia: Victimulae (or Victumulae), or more commonly Victimula, is a Roman-era settlement (probably already developed in pre-Roman times) located in Piedmont, in the southwest of the Biella area, not far from Lake Viverone. More precisely, it is believed to have been located on the slopes of the Serra Morenica d'Ivrea near the Bessa plateau.
