Questo percorso lungo ed estremo parte dal piccolo come di La Magdeleine. Scendendo lungo la strada che porta al lago di Lod (Antey St. Andre) si raggiunge la strada statale appena fuori dal paese. Giunti alla statale purtroppo non ci sono molte alternative e occore raggiungere l'abitato di Antey St. André su asfalto (procedere con cautela auto). Cio nonostante la riserva naturale del lago di Lod e la graziosa frazione di Challien non vi deluderanno. Dopo circa 5 km si raggiunge Antey St. André e svoltando a sinistra si attraversal la frazione di Petit Antey per giungere in una splendida strada sterrata attrezzata che vi porta proprio in centro. Da li si attraversa la statale che sale a Cervinia per imboccare un sentiero lungo il fiume Marmore e vi porta alla frazione di Cerian. Piccola e praticamente inviolata, la frazione di Cerian, una volta attraversata, permette di raggiungere la centralina dell'Acqua di Antey St. Andre con una ripida e divertente discesa su sterrato. Si sale nuovamente per arrivare a Chessin e dopo aver riattraversato la statale si imbocca uno splendido sterrato che porta in collina a Chatillon. Da qui un percorso conosciuto e assai frequentato, il Rue de La Plaine, permette di raggiungere la zona delle Terme di St. Vincent. La parte di divertente e meno faticosa finisce qui. Dalla zona Termale si sale ora alla frazione di Moron (St. Vincent) e dopo circa un paio di km sulla sinistra si sale ancora per raggiungere Perrieres fantastica frazione immersa nel verde piu incontaminato. Una volta attraversata la frazione di Perrieres una poderale pianeggiante vi porta nuovamente a Chatillon per farvi iniziare l'ultima faticosa ma emozionante salita. Si attraversa un fitto bosco seguendo una strada asfaltata che porta a Nissod, piccola frazione che domina la collina di Chatillon, un paesaggio emozionante vi accoglierà. Oltrepassato Nissod si continua a salire ma la strada diventa sterrata e dopo circa 4 km si raggiungono gli alpeggi a dir poco meravigliosi ai piedi del Monte Zerbion. Non è ancora finita la salita....oltrepassati gli alpeggi si raggiunge la Valserena, un enorme radura immersa nel gran bosco della collina di Chatillon, ok la somma è quasi raggiunta, un simpatico pianoro seguito da una splendida discesa vi porterà ora al magico Promiod. Ok ci siamo la metà è vicina si sale nel bosco si incontra un bellissimo alpeggio incastonato nel bosco e voila, all'orizzonte La Magdeleine....

Un percorso che dal borgo di Buronzo, che con il suo castello consortile domina la Baraggia e le sue risaie, porta in un paesaggio unico, dominato dall'acqua e dalla natura.
Armonie in Corte
Punto di partenza è Armonie in Corte, con il suo giardino emozionale e le sue sale storiche dove consumare una colazione/merenda a base di prodotti del territorio (il riso e i suoi derivati non possono mancare). Il verde della Corte è realizzato seguendo i principi di biodiversità con piantumazioni di arbusti forestali robusti, dalla selezione e raccolta di semi provenienti dai boschi certificati dalla Regione Piemonte. Sfondo sono le pietre del Castello, i ciottoli di fiume, i blocchi di pietra. In questo si inserisce l'arte contemporanea, con il Terzo Paradiso di Michelangelo Pistoletto.
Lungo le vie d'acqua
Lungo la strada Buronzina, si incontra il Nuovo Canale della Baraggia e lo si costeggia, tra risaie e cascine, fino all'incastrone della Mapetta, un'opera di ingegneria idraulica sul cavo San Marco che ben racconta la gestione delle acque operata dal Consorzio di Bonifica della Baraggia Vercellese e Biellese e la sua importanza. Si prosegue lungo il cavo San Marco, fiancheggiando le tese d'acqua utili al ripopolamento avicolo della zona, arrivando al nodo idraulico Valversi (dal nome dell'omonima cascina) dove finisce la Roggia Marchionale. Tutto intorno, sono boschi cedui.
Le opere di ingegneria idraulica sono, insieme alla natura e all'agricoltura, i punti di interesse per eccellenza. Si incontra, per esempio, il sifone della Bartesa, un punto in cui su diversi livelli si incrociano "virtualmente" le acque della Roggia Marchionale e di una fontana naturale che prende il via nel vicino comune di Roasio. Tra boschi e risaie si incontrano laghetti per la pesca, aziende faunistiche venatorie private, ma anche spontanee nidificazioni di cicogne e aree di ripopolamento di uccelli e fauna tipica.
Si attraversa anche una ferrovia, la Santhià-Arona ormai in disuso, per tornare sulla Strada Buronzina e far rientro nel borgo di partenza.

This path allows you to move from one ebike rental point to another, so that you have at your disposal not only the routes and GPS tracks starting from Chiusano San Domenico, but also those with origin at the Avellino cycle station in Contrada San Lorenzo, Atripalda.
This route can be cycled either one way or the other, depending on where you are. The GPS track is a little over 16 km long and takes about 2 hours to cover if it is travelled from Atripalda to Chiusano San Domenico; it will take about 1 hour if it is travelled downhill, i.e. from Chiusano San Domenico to Atripalda.
The road does not present any type of difficulty, so it can be tackled with all types of e-bike available for hire: city, trekking and full suspension e-MTB. By following the GPS track, you will avoid passing along the busier Strada Statale 7, also known as Vecchia Ofantina, preferring an itinerary that is more pleasant to follow and with less risk.
The following description was created assuming departure from the Atripalda rental point, at the Avellino cycle station. If, on the other hand, you depart from the Chiusano San Domenico hire point, all the information remains valid, inverting - naturally - their nature.
Leaving the Ciclostazione Avellino behind you, you only need to pedal your e-bike for 1 km to leave the bustling traffic of the city of Atripalda and take the SP5 after 200 metres uphill.
For almost 4 km you can enjoy the beauty of pedalling on a road that is not at all difficult, made up of pleasant ups and downs with small, short climbs followed by short downhill stretches. Although it has been replaced by the faster and more convenient motorway link, this road connects Atripalda and Serino and, therefore, may be affected by vehicular traffic: keep to the right in single file and pay attention.
After 3.7 km the navigator will ask you to turn left onto SP17. Here begins a 2 km climb, with no steep slopes. At the end of the climb, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Sabato valley and some magnificent vineyards. It is here, from these rows of vines, that some of Irpinia's finest wines are obtained, especially Fiano di Avellino. If you feel like it and if you have time, explore the surroundings in search of the most beautiful landscapes.
A beautiful descent will take you first to Sorbo Serpico and then to Salza Irpina, where you will have to face a short but steep climb to exit the town and turn right. For 500 metres you will ride on the SS7, with the village of Salza Irpina on your right, before turning left onto a secondary road with zero traffic. Relax and enjoy the pleasant climb (2 km) on your pedal-assisted bike. You will cross a dense and lush forest of beech and chestnut trees while maintaining a steady and decidedly rideable gradient. When you pass under an overpass and the forest gives way to a splendid panorama, it means that the climb is almost over. On your left you will have a wide view of Irpinia, with the Partenio Park, Montevergine and many small villages; on your left vineyards, countryside and the beauty of Monte Tuoro.
At the end of the road, turn right to join the SP39, which will take you to Chiusano San Domenico. When you come to a nice view (unfortunately transennined due to a landslide when this information sheet was written), it will mean you are entering the village. Go straight on, past Borgo Ripa (the old historic centre of Chiusano San Domenico, home of the journalist Carlo Nazzaro), the town square) and you have arrived. On the right, you will notice the orange sign of Reveló, the bike and rental point in Chiusano San Domenico of Ciclostazione Avellino.
