サレラーノカナヴェーゼの天然記念物・トップ20

Burnelは、Nomaglioの中心部を横切る通りであるVia Maestraの途中に位置する、古代のコッペッラ（cup-marked stone）です。その表面には、先史時代に刻まれたコッペッラ、つまり半球状の小さな窪みが今も残っています。その正確な機能は研究者の間で議論の的となっていますが、おそらく豊穣の儀式や崇拝の実践に関連していたと考えられています。より最近の時代には、この石は水盤を設けることで噴水として利用され、また、村人たちがここで刃物やナイフを研ぐために残した溝も石に見ることができます。「burnel」という名前はまさにこれを意味します。つまり、石製の水盤を持つ噴水です。これは、数平方センチメートルの面積に、先史時代の痕跡の上に重なった何世紀にもわたる日常の使用の歴史を物語るものであり、周囲にある典型的なCanavese様式のアーチを持つ石造りの家々よりもはるかに古い時代からこの村の生活に寄り添ってきました。

Nomaglio is a small but pleasant, characteristic village that deserves a quick stop and a bike ride.

After crossing Vialfrè along via Roma and via Borghetto, after a trail that runs alongside a fence you find yourself... in a meadow! Luckily, a providential sign guides you, to the left, to the start of the erratic boulders trail, other signs, to follow, show the right path first along an asphalt road, finally, with another left turn at a hairpin bend, back on the right path. Here begins a nice flowing stretch, never difficult (S2 max), but not at all trivial, because the ground, almost always pebbly, requires constant attention when driving. The trail is not critical, in the sense that, even "skipping" some deviations, you still find yourself on other paths almost parallel to the one I took. In the end, all the paths converge almost in the same point... in front of the highway to Aosta: following the trail, other nice paths lead to Villate.

It is a unique place of its kind. In a rather small and circumscribed area 2 steps from the Montalto lake (also called "Rabbit" lake) there is an area with a very dark soil composed of water, peat, earth and medium-sized trees. Especially when the ground is wet or it has rained previously if you jump on the surface, it moves creating small waves making the surrounding trees dance. A real show! You can reach the dancing lands from 2 different dirt tracks. For those with good technical skills the entry or exit paths in both directions are also fun to pedal.

Regardless of whether you reach the Serra di Ivrea or not, even wandering around these lakes, taking advantage of the good signage present, pays off! There is a nice variety of environments and paths, from single track to dirt road, ending on cobblestone sections, never too banal, especially in the wet... the lake environments are beautiful, given that most of these lakes are not very urbanized, the stilt houses rebuilt on the shore of Lake Pistono are very beautiful, they certainly deserve a stop. Places also suitable for children, given that in the lake area the differences in altitude are very modest... just watch out for hikers, because the paths are open to everyone!

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

in my opinion with the right lights of the day the Black lake is the most suggestive of all the 5 lakes in this unique part of Canavese PHT

In this beautiful peat bog in Montaldo Dora there is a very particular natural phenomenon, which gives the place its name. The Terre Ballerine are in fact called this way because of the particular consistency of the ground, which makes those who walk on it feel like they are walking on a mattress.
