The fall foliage in
Oasi Zegna, together with the blossoming of the rhododendrons in early summer, is
the most fascinating sight that visitors could wish for. A sort of autumnal
rainbow that scatters its most romantic colors on the winding paths. This magic
can also be seen, in Oasi Zegna, by participating in numerous organized events
or by simply taking a walk on your own, and maybe stopping on the way to try
some local cuisine in the various facilities in this nature park in Trivero
Valdilana. Guided tours, dog trekking and local food festivals spice up the
autumn in Bosco del Sorriso, Brughiera, Castagnea di Portula and other nature
site in the Biella Alps.
Bosco del Sorriso: on
5-6, 12-13 and 19-20 October, three weekends of walking in Bielmonte in the
company of local guides who are also nature experts. Not ordinary walks though,
but a whole new experience in the Bosco del Sorriso (Forest of Smiles) in
Valsessera, with its bewitching birches, firs, beeches and larches, but also its
beautiful panoramas. The tours last around two hours and are suitable for
adults and kids alike, and four-legged friends are welcome too. Meeting up
point: Bocchetto Sessera – Bielmonte. Times: 10.30 and 14.30.
