The area depicted in these images is located a short distance from the parking lot where it's best to leave your car and explore (on foot or by bike) the countless trails that surround the lake. This is one of the few truly accessible areas along the entire perimeter because, perhaps to protect the lake's fragile ecosystem, the trail that circles it is kept at a constant distance. In any case, aside from the lake, the entire surrounding rural area is worth a visit, still pleasantly unspoiled. A trip in autumn is highly recommended for the myriad colors of the vegetation. Both cyclists and walkers should be careful, as I didn't notice any distinction between trails reserved for mountain bikes and those reserved for pedestrians; many secondary paths have dead ends!

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.

Small intra-moraine lake, fed by rainwater in the small basin created by the Balteo Glacier in this moraine, which dates back more than one hundred thousand years. The name “paolet” in the local dialect means “small swamp” because over time this lake has partially filled with organic material created by the decomposition of aquatic vegetation. At the moment the water remains only in a ring outside the lake while in the center an islet has already formed: if there is no human intervention, the lake will gradually fill up completely. This is a site of great naturalistic importance for the many species that inhabit it, including the Pelobates fosco insubrico, a small toad at risk of extinction and for this reason the subject of a European protection project.

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

Truly unique environment. Challenging surface: hollow and narrow sections, slightly treacherous gravel, many relaunches. A trail that always keeps the commitment high.

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.

Lake located between Candia and Mazzè covering an area of about 1.5 sq km. It is located at the foot of the morainic hills and is part of the Natural Park of Lake Candia. Sparsely built in its surroundings, it offers a humid habitat suitable for the growth of almost 400 floral species.

Important erratic boulder with a central cavity and some lateral ones connected by channels, used in antiquity as an altar for pagan rites. It is set on a small natural hill and surrounded by chestnut trees

The “pera cunca” is one of the best-known altar-blocks in the Canavese area. With this name they designate stones bearing more or less deep cavities, connected to each other by channels, which could in some way have been used for sacrificial rites. Generally these boulders cannot be dated, and if they are, they may belong to cultures that have few points in common with the Celtic one; moreover, there is abundant evidence of how the generically "pagan" rites were practiced well into the Christian age. The revelation of the presence of this boulder was made around 1920 to the Superintendent of that time and was defined, in the following years, a "boulder-altar". The channeled cupels and the central basin are well suited to cults that envisage libations on sacred altar-shaped stones, repeatedly described by chroniclers of the Roman age referring to pre-existing indigenous peoples in Northern Italy. However, it is necessary to move with caution on such classic information, since without archaeological evidence it can be easy to reach hasty or erroneous conclusions. The stone, an erratic boulder, had already been known for some time and was traditionally called by the inhabitants "Pera Cunca" or "Pietra Conca or Concava". It is located on the southernmost slopes of the morainic Amphitheater of Ivrea among the last hills that testify to the maximum extension to the south of the glacial tongue. It is likely that the latter is responsible for the local presence of the stone, which deposited it when the glacier began to retreat.
