Tipi Percorsi
Nelle risaie dei riso biologico e della DOP
Partendo dal Castello Consortile di Buronzo e da una colazione/merenda a base di prodotti del territorio ad Armonie in Corte, si parte pedalando lungo la Strada Buronzina, per poi seguire il Nuovo Canale della Baraggia, che porta in territorio di Rovasenda, con il suo castello (anzi, sono due!) e i suoi numerosi nidi di cicogne, ma anche con la sua produzione di riso "solidale" biologico e di cachemere.
La Riserva Naturale delle Baragge
Se attraversando queste risaie vedrete coltivazioni geometriche, a righe, con tanti argini regolari di varietà vegetali molto diverse, avrete visto i campi coltivati con un'attenzione marcata alla biodiversità ambientale. Se invece incontrerete degli agricoltori locali, fatevi raccontare la storia del famoso ciliegio della Baraggia! Intanto costeggiando una cava di terra da mattoni (e il colore non mente!) ci si avvicina alla Riserva Naturale delle Baragge, un'area protetta di parco naturale dove subito si notano le betulle dai tronchi bianche alternate ad arbusti bassi molto diversi tra loro.
Il canale FIAT
Si attraversa la riserva, per arrivare al torrente Torbola e al canale FIAT, che prende nome dalla celebre fabbrica torinese che aveva in progetto di aprire una sede un questa zona ma che poi non trovò il consenso del territorio, spostandosi a Cossato. Tutto il canale è caratterizzato da vie di risalita per la fauna, che consentono agli animali caduti accidentalmente in acqua di poter uscire più agevolmente. Continuando il percorso si trovano allevamenti di bovini all'aperto e anche una cascina con un aereo precipitato e mai ripartito, nonostante sembri ancora integro!
Verso le colline del vino di Gattinara
Allontanandosi dall'area boschiva, delimitata da colorate arnie per le api e con sullo sfondo i ruderi del Castello di San Lorenzo a Gattinara, si raggiunge il Rio Collopasso, addentrandosi nei boschi del fiume Sesia, con vallate ben marcate superate da ponti canali e nelle quali si continua a pedalare sulle strade alzaie. Si arriva così al punto di partenza del canale FIAT, costeggiando l'abitato di Gattinara (qui partono le strade per raggiungere i ruderi del Castello di San Lorenzo e la Torre delle Castelle, punti panoramici interessanti sulle colline del vino), percorrendo un tratto della ciclabile cittadina per poi rientrare, dietro alla parrocchiale di San Pietro, nei boschi del fiume Sesia.
Sul fiume Sesia
Nei boschi del fiume Sesia raggiungiamo la ex colonia elioterapica di Gattinara (dotata di parco giochi, sgambatoio per i cani e area attrezzata per feste e manifestazioni), il vecchio lavatoio del paese, le vecchie centrali idroelettriche e la Ca d'Assi, un'area di sosta pic nic proprio sull'ansa del fiume Sesia, punto di imbocco per la cosiddetta Roggia dell'Avvocato e dalla quale continuiamo a seguire la Roggia Marchionale, qui ben riconoscibile per i regolari muri di ciottoli di fiume.
L'Isoetes Maliverniana, alga rara
Continuando nei boschi di Lenta e costeggiando le cosiddette Lame del Sesia, si giunge a Lenta, dove con una piccola deviazione sul canale che costeggia la scuola si può vedere un'alga rara e protetta, dai filamenti lunghissimi e verde acceso: l'Isoetes Maliverniana. Da Lenta si torna tra le risaie, tra chiese campestri e un'area militare invalicabile in cui sono depositati migliaia di carri armati dell'Esercito Italiano. Da Lenta, dirigendosi verso Rovasenda, si incrocia poi la cascina dei nipote del conte Negroni, l'inventore del celebre cocktail! Da Rovasenda si torna quindi a Buronzo.

Questo percorso parte dalla piazza mercato di Bosco Marengo, comune che si estende ad ovest fino al torrente Orba,
paese che ha regalato i natali ad un personaggio storico di grande rilievo, Frà Michele Ghislieri, divenuto poi Papa Pio V nel 1566.
Il tracciato si snoda per il centro storico, costeggiando prima le mura che un tempo isolavano il borgo più antico, risalente all'epoca preromana,
e solcando poi, la campagna coltivata in direzione del torrente, raggiungendo la storica tenuta San Michele del XII secolo.
Trattasi di un percorso molto facile e quasi interamente in piano, principalmente su strade bianche, adatto per famiglie, anche con bimbi piccoli
vista la distanza percorribile.
Il primo tratto di strada, dalla ten. San Michele alla diga omonima, lambisce la garzaia di Bosco M., area naturale protetta caratterizzata da numerose
specie nitticore quali le Ardeidi, risultando molto probabile l'avvistamento della garzetta o dell'airone cenerino nei canali di irrigazione.

Attraversato ponte San’Angelo si faceva visita ai malati dell’ospedale di Santo Spirito. Quindi il corteo si raccoglieva presso la basilica di San Pietro, prima tappa della visita. La mattina seguente, di buon’ora, l’appuntamento era nella basilica di San Paolo, da dove si percorreva la via ancora oggi chiamata delle Sette Chiese e si giungeva a San Sebastiano per partecipare alla Messa. Nei periodi di maggiore affluenza la celebrazione eucaristica ebbe luogo a Santo Stefano Rotondo sul Celio. Seguiva l’omelia di Filippo, o di altri religiosi, quindi la refezione. Nei primi anni si fermavano alla vigna Savelli, nei pressi della Caffarella. Col tempo divenne abituale la fermata al giardino Mattei, in quella che oggi si chiama Villa Celimontana. Poi si dirigevano verso la Scala Santa e San Giovanni in Laterano e proseguivano per Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. Attraverso Porta Maggiore il corteo usciva di nuovo dalla cinta muraria arrivando all’Agro Verano, dov’è la basilica di San Lorenzo. Rientrando infine in città il corteo volgeva all’ultima tappa dell’itinerario: Santa Maria Maggiore. Qui, dopo un ultimo raccoglimento, i partecipanti si congedavano intonando la Salve Regina.

The loop passes through the municipalities of Paesana, Barge, Martiniana Po and Sanfront, leading you to discover the historical and gastronomic wealth of this area.
What to see in Barge
The town of Barge has a very ancient history, as testified by the rock engravings found on the summit of Monte Bracco (often shortened to Monbracco). It is from the 1400s that Barge began a flourishing development mainly thanks to the quarrying industry of construction rocks from the slopes of Monbracco. Even Leonardo Da Vinci in one of his manuscripts mentions this mountain, describing it as a site for the production of a "stone as white as Carrara marble and as hard as porphyry", hence the nickname Montagna di Leonardo (Leonardo's Mountain). Barge can also boast many fine monuments and churches, such as the parish church of San Giovanni Battista, the ruins of the Lower Castle and the medieval streets of the old town centre.
What to see in Staffarda
Pedalling along secondary roads immersed in green fields, you reach the abbey of Santa Maria di Staffarda. Founded in the early 12th century by the Order of Cistercian monks on land donated by Marquis Manfredo I of Saluzzo. The abbey consists of several buildings including an impressive Romanesque/Gothic cloister, a guesthouse and a covered market. Since the Middle Ages, it has been an important centre for trade, also favoured by the products obtained from the reclamation of the surrounding farmland desired by the monks. In 1690, it suffered serious damage following the battle between the Savoy and French who were fighting over the territory of Saluzzo. It was then rebuilt in the first decades of the 18th century, altering its typical Gothic forms.
What to see in Sanfront
Leaning against the walls of Monbracco, under a rocky outcrop, stands Balma Boves, a charming hamlet where time seems to have stopped in the Middle Ages and which recalls the villages of the pueblos navajos. In fact, the last inhabitants of this village abandoned it in the 1950s when its location was unsuitable for modern life. Today, transformed into an eco-museum, it reminds us of when man, in these valleys, still lived in perfect harmony with nature, knowing how to exploit natural resources without abusing them.

Si parte dal punto di noleggio BikeSquare di Casaleggio Boiro e si raggiunge il Borgo di Lerma. Si prosegue in direzione di Tagliolo Monferrato e prima del ponte sul Piota si svolta a sinistra, in direzione Località Cirimilla. Superata Cascina Cirimilla si prosegue sulla sterrata detta “della Cirimilla” di altissivo valore ambientale e paesaggistico in quanto attraversa interamente il Parco, fino ad arrivare alle Capanne di Marcarolo. Raggiunto il Centro del Parco si può fare una sosta golosa e poi riprendere la strada di ritorno. Il primo tratto è lo stesso dell'andata ma al bivio (siamo nel tratto boscoso) anzichè proseguire a sinistra si mantiene la destra per raggiungere i laghi della Lavagnina, costeggiare il grande lago e poi ritornare sulla sterrata fino a riprendere la strada asfaltata per raggiugere il borgo di Casaleggio Boiro, dove è possibile vedere il Castello utilizzato in mumerore scenografie cinematografiche.
