Not far from Vialfrè, a small village near Ivrea, in the Canavese area, is the path of erratic boulders. These huge prehistoric boulders, often found in unusual places, were transported by the glacier that dominated this area until it melted.

Here, during the Ice Age, the Balteo Glacier transported enormous boulders to its surface, which were then released when rising temperatures melted the ice.
