Premosello – Chiovenda. L'Oasi Naturale di Bosco Tenso è stata istituita nel 1990 per la salvaguardia dell’ultima porzione di bosco “tensato”, già tutelata nel 1500 in quanto il bosco posto tra il Toce e le coltivazioni salvava queste ultime dalle esondazioni.
Vogogna, annoverato tra i Borghi più belli d'Italia, è stato Capitale dell'Ossola Inferiore e nel suo centro storico si trovano il Castello Visconteo ed il Palazzo Pretorio.
Pieve Vergonte con il Ponte sul fiume Anza che conduce a Piedimulera, dove svetta il torrione di Palazzo Testoni, realizzato probabilmente per avere controllo sulla mulattiera che conduceva in Valle Anzasca.
Villadossola. Fu un importante sito siderurgico per i metalli estratti in Valle Antrona, tanto da portare alla realizzazione, nel 1940, di un intero villaggio per le maestranze della S.A. Metallurgica Ossolana, che resta tutt’oggi un’opera unica nel suo genere.
Domodossola, principale centro della Val D’Ossola, sorge nella piana all’imbocco della Val Bognanco. È stata un importante crocevia di culture e scambi commerciali ed il suo centro storico, anticamente racchiuso tra mura pentagonali, è ricco di monumenti e palazzi storici. Per il rientro si suggerisce di prendere il treno alla stazione di Domodossola per raggiungere la stazione di Verbania – Pallanza.

A delicious break featuring the prized hazelnuts of the Langhe.
Langa is not just Barolo wine, it's also hazelnut – how can you best savor this delicious fruit? Obviously by e-bike with a "snack" stop to taste the famous Langhe hazelnut cake! The prized Piemonte I.G.P. Hazelnut in the Tonda Gentile delle Langhe variety lends itself well to many sweet and savory preparations, not to mention its application in seemingly distant fields like cosmetics.
The hazelnuts experience
Serralunga d'Alba is known not only for its fine wines, but also for its hazelnuts. Just outside the ancient village of Serralunga d'Alba you'll find Flavio Baudana. Visitors are transported into an authentic experience, far from those artificial atmospheres specifically designed for tourists, especially thanks to it still being a family-run business today. Grazia, Flavio and Andrea will guide you through the tasting of the prized Piemonte I.G.P. Hazelnut, the Tonda Gentile delle Langhe, along with their soft and delicious hazelnut cake accompanied by a glass of Moscato, which is also produced in the Baudana winery – these are the crown jewel of the experience. Upon request, it's possible to pair the sweet tasting with a savory one enhanced by a glass of Nebbiolo or Barbera.
The hazelnuts E-bike Route
The e-bike route starts from Novello, reaches Monforte and continues to Serralunga d'Alba. We recommend dedicating the entire day to this experience, and thanks to the e-bike, it's accessible even to those who aren't very sporty. The climbs up through the hills, among vineyards and hazelnut groves offer wonderful panoramic views with spectacular vistas: the castles silhouetted on the horizon and the medieval-style villages make the landscape very picturesque. We highly recommend visiting the historic center of Monforte (one of Italy's Most Beautiful Villages) with its amphitheater at the top of the hill and houses perched on the ridge. The bike route continues toward Serralunga d'Alba, whose majestic castle towers make it immediately recognizable, bearing witness to the past of these hills. Just beyond the ancient village, in a panoramic position over the valley, you'll reach Flavio Baudana for the Tonda Gentile delle Langhe hazelnut tasting. Once the experience is finished, you continue toward Castiglione Falletto and Barolo. This route overlooks wonderful panoramic views among some of the most famous castles in this area. Autumn enhances the view by coloring the landscape with warm colors, and the foliage makes the horizon different every day.
