Tips from the Community
The Burnel is an ancient cup-marked stone located halfway along Via Maestra, the road that crosses the center of Nomaglio. On its surface, the cup marks engraved in prehistoric times are still visible, small hemispherical cavities whose exact function remains a subject of debate among scholars — perhaps linked to propitiatory rites or cult practices. In more recent times, the stone was adapted into a fountain, with a basin carved out for water, and on the stone, you can also observe the grooves left by the blades and knives that the villagers used to come here to sharpen. The name "burnel" indicates precisely this: a fountain with a stone basin. It is an object that, in a few square centimeters, tells of centuries of daily use superimposed on prehistoric traces, and has accompanied the life of the village for times much older than the stone houses with the typical Canavese arches that surround it.

Built by the Challant family for defensive and residential purposes, it is today one of the best-preserved medieval castles in the region.

The area depicted in these images is located a short distance from the parking lot where it's best to leave your car and explore (on foot or by bike) the countless trails that surround the lake. This is one of the few truly accessible areas along the entire perimeter because, perhaps to protect the lake's fragile ecosystem, the trail that circles it is kept at a constant distance. In any case, aside from the lake, the entire surrounding rural area is worth a visit, still pleasantly unspoiled. A trip in autumn is highly recommended for the myriad colors of the vegetation. Both cyclists and walkers should be careful, as I didn't notice any distinction between trails reserved for mountain bikes and those reserved for pedestrians; many secondary paths have dead ends!
