    Embark on a difficult road cycling adventure through the unique glacial landscape of the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheater. This challenging loop covers 34.1 miles (54.8 km) with a significant elevation gain of 3057 feet (932 metres), taking around 2 hours and 53 minutes to complete. You will encounter diverse terrain, from paved roads to potentially unpaved sections that demand good handling skills. Along the way, enjoy picturesque views of glacial Lake Meugliano and Lake Vidracco, alongside panoramic vistas of the Canavese plain and the distant Alps.

    This route is rated as a difficult road ride, requiring very good fitness and experience. The substantial elevation gain and the possibility of unpaved segments mean it is best suited for experienced road cyclists. Be prepared for varied surfaces and ensure your bike is capable of handling these conditions. Planning your ride for good weather will enhance your experience on this demanding loop.

    The trail's primary appeal lies in its distinctive geological setting within the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheater, the second largest in Italy. You will cycle past the scenic beauty of glacial lakes like Meugliano and Vidracco, both part of a Site of Community Interest. This combination of a demanding physical challenge and stunning natural landscapes makes the loop a memorable ride for those seeking an adventurous experience in the Piedmont region.
