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.

Partendo da Armonie in Corte con una buona colazione/merenda a base di prodotti tipici locali, si pedala lungo la strada per San Giacomo Vercellese dopo aver puntato l'attenzione sui nidi di cicogne che si trovano subito all'inizio del percorso. Si costeggia quindi il Circuito di Balocco (o più correttamente Centro Sperimentale Balocco) un complesso di circuiti automobilistici costruito nel 1962 dall'Alfa Romeo e oggi di proprietà di Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
Il Canale Cavour
Si prosegue quindi in direzione Villarboit tra le risaie del riso DOP di Baraggia fino a incrociare il Canale Cavour, costruito a supporto dell'agricoltura (in particolare della coltura del riso) che trae origine dal Po a Chivasso (TO) e termina scaricandosi nel Ticino nel comune di Galliate (NO). La sua lunghezza totale è pari a quasi 83 km ed è il terzo canale italiano per lunghezza, dopo il canale Emiliano Romagnolo ed il canale Villoresi. All'imbocco ha una portata massima di 110 m³/s, che ad est del Sesia si riduce ad 85 m³/s. Il nome ricorda Camillo Benso di Cavour, che ne fu promotore.
Con una deviazione verso Albano Vercellese, pedalando tra le risaie fino a lambire il Parco Naturale delle Lame del Sesia, si riattraversa il Canale Cavour raggiungendo il comune di Arborio, dove agli affreschi dell'oratorio di San Sebastiano raccontano di tradizioni artistiche e contadine molto antiche, il centro mantiene la forma, almeno in parte, degli antichi ricetti medievali e gli stucchi raccontano le vicende settecentesche della parrocchiale di San Martino. Ma il nome stesso del paese, che deriva dal cognome della famiglia medievale vercellese che aveva possedimenti terrieri qui, racconta il legame forte con il riso.
In azienda agricola
Qui ad Arborio la giovane azienda agricola Zanazzo Marco accoglie turisti, appassionati di territorio e tanti abitanti locali nel cuore della produzione del riso della Baraggia vercellese. L'azienda fonda la sua tradizione sull’esperienza di tre generazioni di agricoltori succedutisi nella coltivazione del riso. Ben ancorata alla esperienza del passato, si avvale però di moderne tecnologie per la coltivazione, essiccazione e stoccaggio del risone prodotto, nel pieno rispetto dei requisiti standard di prevenzione e sicurezza. Nata nel 2009, grazie ai contributi Europei del Piano di Sviluppo Rurale con le misure di Insediamento Giovani ed Ammodernamento delle Aziende Agricole, rappresenta una sintesi di tradizione e modernità.
Passando per il santuario della “Madonna delle Grazie” o “Madonna della Cintura”, ma comunemente chiamata dagli arboriesi “Madonna del Bosco”, ci si dirige verso San Giacomo Vercellese, per fare rientro a Buronzo
