Embark on the "From Ivrea to Lake Viverone – loop tour" for an engaging touring bicycle experience through varied terrain and rich scenery. This moderate route covers 28.3 miles (45.6 km) with an elevation gain of 1204 feet (367 metres), typically taking around 3 hours and 29 minutes to complete. You will cycle through landscapes shaped by ancient glaciers, featuring morainic hills, cultivated fields, and forests. As you approach Lake Viverone, the scenery transforms into a tranquil oasis of clear waters and lush greenery, offering picturesque backdrops of rolling hills adorned with vineyards and orchards.
Planning your visit, you should know that the route is generally considered moderate, suitable for touring cyclists with a good level of fitness. While some sections, especially around Lake Viverone, are relatively easy and paved, the broader loop includes rolling hills and some notable ascents and descents. Parts of the route, such as the stretch from Ivrea towards Viverone via Burolo and Piverone, involve gentle climbs and descents. Some segments might be unpaved, so be prepared for mixed surfaces.
This trail is notable for its blend of natural beauty and historical significance. You will cycle along the impressive Serra Morenica di Ivrea, one of Europe's largest lateral moraines, offering unique panoramic views. The route also highlights Lake Viverone, a glacial lake home to ancient pile dwellings that are a UNESCO Heritage site. Furthermore, you will pass through charming villages and encounter medieval architecture in towns like Ivrea, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage site for its industrial heritage.
