The autumn foliage paints our mountains with warm, intense colours, making this season one of the most popular and evocative of the year thanks to a spectacle of rare beauty. This creates the ideal setting for leisurely walks, trekking along trails and photography outings surrounded by nature.
The pastures slowly empty, the light softens, and the days offer a perfect pace for those who love walking and observing nature. The hikes are designed for both families, with easy routes, and for more experienced hikers who want to venture up to the scenic ridges.
And so, little by little, winter arrives, when the mountains are blanketed in white and activities abound. Snowshoeing through the woods and snow-covered slopes allows you to experience nature in silence, while downhill and cross-country skiing offers thrills on the nearby slopes. Even the most tranquil hikes take on a special charm: the snow-covered landscape, the silence of the woods, and the frozen streams create a uniquely gentle atmosphere.
Autumn and winter thus offer a combination of nature, sport, and culture, with experiences suitable for couples, families, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking experiences of authentic beauty.
The foliage transforms our forests and mountains into mosaics of brilliant colors: a true natural event, which every year attracts photography, trekking, and mountain enthusiasts in search of evocative scenery.
Whether you choose a walk in the woods of the Cervo Valley or a more scenic excursion in the Oasi Zegna, autumn will offer you unique perspectives and atmospheres—perfect, perhaps, to enjoy with a tasting upon your return or a moment of relaxation by the warmth of the fireplace.
Our mountains offer a variety suitable for both those who love quieter trails and more experienced athletes and trail runners.
From Cervo Valley to Oasi Zegna, from Oropa to Valle Elvo, we definitely recommend making your stay a complete experience by exploring what our Alps so generously offer us.
Thanks to our partnership with certified hiking guides, you can also request tailor-made trekking, forest bathing, and orienteering experiences.
When snow covers our mountain peaks, the nearby ski areas come to life again. Whether you’re an expert skier or just looking to get started, our area offers slopes, facilities, and scenery that are definitely worth a day or more—perhaps ending in front of our roaring fireplaces.

We’ll be happy to help you manage your ski passes and equipment rental.
In the heart of winter, snowshoeing becomes the perfect activity for those who want to walk in silence through the snow-covered countryside. Exploring the woods and mountains becomes slower and more immersive, allowing you to discover the Alps from a different perspective.
We recommend the larch and fir forests around Oasi Zegna, perhaps during the hours when you can enjoy the sunset. Numerous group snowshoe hikes are also organized at night, making for an even more rewarding experience.
The Veglio Adventure Park and the Oropa Adventure Park are designed for outdoor fun for all ages: zip lines, treetop courses, children’s areas, and thrilling experiences for kids and adults.
The perfect destination for an active day: families will find trails suitable for even the littlest ones, while groups and couples looking for a different kind of day can choose zip lines and more adrenaline-pumping heights.
Our mountains also appeal to those who love to get around by bike, whether on scenic roads or dirt trails through the woods. With dedicated rental locations, you can explore routes designed for e-bikes, road bikes, and mountain bikes.
Among the most iconic routes, we definitely recommend the Panoramica Zegna: a route that passes through woods, mountain pastures, and panoramic views, perfect for cyclists and panorama lovers.
At 152 meters high, the Pistolesa Bridge has become an icon for adrenaline junkies: it is home to one of Europe’s most renowned bungee jumping centers, a favorite among athletes and enthusiasts who want to experience the thrill of leaping into the void surrounded by nature.
Also nearby is the zip line at the Veglio Adventure Park, a treetop course suitable for kids, adults, and families seeking a more gentle thrill, allowing you to zip down at full speed while admiring the valley from a different perspective.

Among the cultural and unconventional activities, we certainly offer an exclusive guided tour of the village of Rosazza—considered “one of the most beautiful villages in Italy”—just minutes from us.
Among Masonic symbols, bizarre architecture, and mysteriously charming alleys, the visit reveals the secret aspects of history and explores the esoteric and legendary side of the area.
We will be happy to provide you with more information and organize your mystery tour.
A few kilometers from us you’ll find the Oropa Sanctuary, a historic pilgrimage site nestled in the woods, combining spirituality, art, and high-altitude views. Visiting the sanctuary means touching the cultural and religious roots of our territory, following a route that extends from the valley to the mountains.
The visit is suitable for both couples seeking a moment of reflection and families seeking a more expansive excursion: some of the most famous hikes to the Biella peaks and refuges depart from Oropa.
One of the most authentic experiences we can offer is a visit to local artisans and producers: beekeepers, small dairies, botanical greenhouses, and high-altitude berry and vegetable growers.
Visits based on simple yet engaging dynamics: from an explanation of the production cycle to the moment of “getting your hands dirty”, perhaps tasting freshly made cheeses or honey harvested in the valley. This is an activity we especially recommend for families with children or those visiting from the city: it’s educational, entertaining, and offers new perspectives on places perhaps far from your daily routine.
