Things To Do

Oasi Zegna is a freely accessible protected nature reserve covering around 100 km2 in the Biella Alps. An ideal destination for families, sports people and lovers of the mountains, it has a full calendar of events, recreational activities and educational projects promoted by Consorzio Turistico Oasi Zegna. Skiing, hiking and Nordic Walking are just some of the outdoor sports awaiting you at Oasi Zegna. In every season.

There are paths winding through forests and alpine pastures, offering spectacular views of Monte Rosa and Monviso. These paths provide experiences for everyone, from day hikes, which are also ideal for families, to more challenging routes such as the Cammino di Ermenegildo, a walk through nature, history and spirituality.

Take a meditative walk along a bioenergetic path and immerse yourself in the woods to experience the many benefits of plants and rediscover harmony with nature. Experience profound well-being practices amidst the enchanting beech woods of the Forest of Smiles, and along the paths dedicated to Forest Bathing.

These trails are a true paradise for cycling and mountain biking enthusiasts, offering signposted routes suitable for all levels amidst breathtaking scenery. This is an experience that can be enjoyed in every season, with the added attraction of snow biking in winter. There are also plenty of dedicated events throughout the year, such as the BOMB (Bielmonte-Mera-Bielmonte in e-bike), which allow you to discover the area in an active and sustainable way.

Discovering the Oasi Zegna on horseback is an evocative and enthralling way to take in the wonderful mountain landscapes. The Al Maneggio di Bielmonte horse riding centre offers a variety of services and experiences, including initiation rides as individual lessons, internships, specialised training courses, horse stabling, and adventurous rides along the area’s many bridleways.

The Bucaneve is just a short walk from the Bielmonte lifts, a tailor-made ski area with sunny slopes that are never crowded. It is ideal for children, who can learn safely here thanks to the instructors of the two ski schools and the Winter Bielmonte Kids animators at the fun Baby Park in the snow. The area is also perfect for those who want to experience the pleasure of skiing in tranquillity, surrounded by nature.

10 km of cross-country ski trails wind their way through the snow-covered forests of the Valsessera, alongside a dense network of snowshoe trails, which are ideal for excursions into the silent heart of nature. Guided snowshoe hikes and moonlight outings are also available. With OverAlp è you can participate in “‘snowshoe baptisms’”, which are easy hikes offering breathtaking views. Snowshoe equipment can be conveniently hired at nearby rental points.

Casa Zegna, part of Fondazione Zegna, is a historical archive and cultural centre in Trivero Valdilana, next to Lanificio Zegna. Inside a 1930s building that was once the family home, a new ‘archival museum’ concept has been created. An extraordinary synthesis of history and experience, but at the same time a multifunctional space that is always active, a forge of new ideas, where tradition merges with transformation. It houses the permanent exhibition “From sheep to shop“, dedicated to the history of the Zegna Group, and numerous temporary exhibitions.
