Tips
History The Torre della Bastia was built, by order of the Bishop of Vercelli, in 1296 by the inhabitants of Sala Biellese and Donato in order to control the pastures, the waters and the neighboring communication roads. It was completely destroyed in 1308 by the inhabitants of Andrate, Bienca and Chiaverano, tired of the usurpations suffered.
Go up the stairs of the tower to enjoy the view below (782m).

On this wooden tower there is a staircase where you can climb to the top and admire the view of the Ivrea lakes from the balcony. Just be careful because a wooden step is missing! The ridge path to get there is not difficult, flat and accessible to everyone.
