Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Cella

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of S. Maria di Meoglio, today known as the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Cella, is located in the middle of the woods and is the center of the ancient settlement of Meoglio.
Next to the church, rebuilt in 1848, the ruins of the old monastery can still be seen, documentary sources attest to the presence of the Cella di Meoglio among the possessions of the Monastery of Lucedio and here, according to tradition, in 1001 San Bononio worked a miracle there .

The castle, clearly visible from the plain, boasts a thousand-year history, in fact already in 1070 it was mentioned in a document as a property of the Valperga family, which according to historical tradition were the descendants of the first king of Italy, Arduino. Over the centuries, the castle has undergone numerous changes, which have altered its original appearance as a stronghold, transforming the building into an elegant residence, which can still be visited, with richly decorated halls, antique furnishings and, outside, one splendid garden with a green labyrinth which is one of the largest in Italy. The best way to get there is along the old military road, which starts from the SP 56 starting from Caravino. Important: on the navigator's cartography a road was indicated that started at the roundabout on the plain, but I could not find it. The recommended access is therefore another road, which can be found on the left going down just before the bend. nice climb on a very good dirt road with regular slope, at the tip a splendid panorama over the plain with the greenhouse of Ivrea visible in the background. The well is visible immediately after the center of Masino, to the left of the only access road. It is protected by a grate, but clearly visible.

Pile-dwelling Village at Lake Viverone

Highlight • Historical Site

A few meters below the water level, the remains of approximately 5000 poles stuck in the ground have been preserved, evidence of an ancient pile-dwelling village dating back to the Bronze Age.
The settlement is one of the 111 "Prehistoric Pile-dwelling Sites of the Alpine Arc" protected by UNESCO. The place is definitely enchanting: water lilies, poplars, aquatic birds...

Lake Viverone from the Gesiun of Piverone

Highlight • Religious Site

Gesiùn, that is "church" in Piedmontese, although it is not that big. It is an example of Romanesque architecture in the Canavese area as well as a suggestive point along the Via Francigena which passes right next to it.

View of Lake Viverone

Highlight • Viewpoint

When you have almost reached the top of the slope that leads to Zimone on the right you can see the beautiful Lake of Viverone. I recommend stopping to admire the view and maybe take a nice photo as a souvenir.
