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.

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.

This is the largest of the lakes of glacial origin in the surroundings of Ivrea. This is a great place to stop and take a moment to take a photograph or simply admire the view of the ancient castle of Montaldo Dora.

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

Lake in the greenhouse area of Ivrea, takes its name from the nearby town Viverone. The banks are rich in vegetation and there are also ancient stilt houses (not at this point). In Lago is the largest in this area, definitely worth a visit.
