Ivrea e Canavese
Surrounded by gentle hills and green valleys...
such as Valchiusella, Canavese, this is a glorious corner of Piedmont that holds a huge variety of naturalistic, historic and artistic treasures, including castles, towers and ancient churches.
The central point is the city of Ivrea, the Roman “Eporedia”, surrounded by one of Europe's best known Morainic Amphitheatres which formed during the great ice ages: the retreat of the Balteo glacier gave rise to the seam of moraine rock of the Serra d'Ivrea which extends for 25km and also many basins such as the 5 lakes of Ivrea and those of Candia Canavese and Viverone.
