The Biella area, the green heart of Upper Piedmont, is a region that combines mountains, hills, and plains in a mosaic of nature, culture, and traditions. From the peaks of the Biella Alps to the charm of nature reserves such as the Oasi Zegna and the Riserva della Bessa, the landscapes here change with every step: unspoiled valleys, centuries-old woods, vine-covered hills, and ancient villages that tell centuries of history.
The Biella area is also a land of spirituality, with the Sacred Mount of Oropa and the majestic Marian Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and destination for international pilgrimages. The capital, Biella, is known for its tradition of textile excellence, which has made the district famous throughout the world. Next to the city, the municipalities of Cossato, Candelo (with its medieval Ricetto), Gaglianico, Vigliano Biellese, and Mongrando preserve historical evidence and living local identities. Further north are towns such as Tollegno, Occhieppo Superiore and Inferiore, and the charming centers of Andorno Micca, Pettinengo, and Valdilana, where nature and culture intertwine. The Biella area is an authentic land that invites you to slowly discover its landscapes and traditions.
