Rustico in Lessolo

This area sits in the Canavese hills at the edge of the Alpine foreland, with the Graian Alps visible to the north and west. The Dora Baltea valley is nearby, and Ivrea is the nearest town of size, with services, a rail station and a substantial historic center. The Serra d'Ivrea, the long morainic ridge left by the ancient Balteo glacier, is one of the main landscape features of this part of Piemonte and lies within the surrounding area. The zone is known for wooded hills, small villages, vineyards and moraine landscapes rather than for a single monument or resort.
