03. BORGOFRANCO D'IVREA - MONTALTO DORA

Itinerary
Km 3,3 / Elevation change - 8
The route continues towards the area of Balmetti, natural wine cellars made in the ravines of the mountain and characterised by a current of natural air at a constant temperature of 6-7°C: here there are conserved wine, cheese and salami. This then leads on to Borgofranco d'Ivrea, built in the 13th century following the unification of the populations of Biò, Quinto and Mombueno for defence purposes: at the centre of the town are conserved the remains of the ancient fortified hamlet in rectangular format, while the Civic Tower, now a bell-tower, was a defensive structure.
