Baraggia di Candelo (BI).

Manager: Management body for the protected areas of Ticino and Lake Maggiore.
The Baraggia di Candelo, also called the Baraggione, is a protected natural area in Piedmont and is located within the Baragge oriented nature reserve. It is classified as a site of community interest.

Its area includes the municipalities of Benna, Candelo, Cossato, Massazza, Mottalciata, Salussola, Valdengo, Verrone, Vigliano Biellese, Villanova Biellese which are located in the province of Biella. It has an area of approximately 1600 hectares. It occupies a plateau at the foot of the first Biella pre-Alps, the Cervo torrent forms the northern and eastern border, while to the west and south the Ottina torrent delimits the nature reserve.

It is characterized by three plain levels of different ages separated by escarpments. Gully morphologies are observed due to the erosion of the streams and that of surface runoff.

The soil on the summit surface of this natural area is clayey, composed of silty materials transported by the wind. The Baraggione consists of a balcony several hundred meters long which falls sheer onto the banks of the Cervo.

The Candelo baraggia is characterized by different habitats, including wooded areas that occupy approximately 70% of the territory and moorland.

It is sometimes called "the Biella Savannah"
