in the alps, the area around town is a natural for hikes of all types,
from flat ones with gorgeous views on paths carved on the side of
mountains to strenuous ones up to a peak. This terrain is also ideal for
mountain biking, and rentals (and instruction!) are available at the
start of trails in the Oasi Zegna.Italy’s best golf course (and one of Europe’s best) is the Golf Club le Betulle, located 30 minutes from town. The course (18 holes, par 73 measuring 6497m) was designed by the famous English architect John Morrison, and has a high degree of technical difficulty.

Biella is the center of Italian production of fine woolen and cashmere products, which can be bought directly at a discount (and huge savings if compared to U.S. pricing) from the outlet stores of labels such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Fila, Cerruti, Piacenza or directly from the manufacturers that supply them. And for purchases of over $150, non-EU residents get a tax refund equal to ~11% of the invoice! Click here for our suggestions. Useful links (in English) |
