Discover the Canavese area
We invite you to discover the splendid territory in which we are immersed, among lakes suitable for swimming, trekking, cycling and millennial culture.
A crossroads of paths
Trekking: Via Francigena and Oropa Way
Cascina Moncrava is strategically located a short distance from the historic Via Francigena and on the route of the Oropa Way.
For pilgrims and walkers completing the Ivrea stage of the Francigena or venturing towards Mount Oropa, we are an ideal base and a true oasis of regeneration.
A paradise for two wheels
Biking: 5 Lakes Trail and Morainic Amphitheatre
Cascina Moncrava is immersed in the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre, a territory unique in the world for its variety of trails and geological formation.
For bikers seeking the adrenaline of technical single tracks or the peace of scenic routes through woods and glacial rocks, we are the perfect starting point and a retreat to recharge your energy after every ride.
The enchantment of the water
The 5 Lakes Park
The Five Lakes Park of Ivrea (Sirio, Pistono, San Michele, Nero, and Di Campagna) is a landscape jewel where the rolling hills meet the serenity of the water.
The water experience is regenerating: from strolls along the shores to the possibility of a dip in the swimming waters of Lake Sirio, famous for its clarity. Whether you are looking for a sunny afternoon or an unforgettable sunset, Cascina Moncrava offers you privileged access to this natural amphitheatre of beauty and well-being.
A territory rich in history
Ivrea and the UNESCO World Heritage site
Just a 5-minute drive away, or a pleasant walk, you will reach the historic centre of Ivrea. The city is a gem of history and architecture, world-renowned for the unique experience of Olivetti.
Discover the legacy of Adriano Olivetti, a model of urban planning and architecture that led the city to be recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Visit the historic factories, offices, and residential neighbourhoods that tell a story of ethics and design.
I will guide you to the most interesting museums and exhibitions, for an in-depth look at the industrial and Risorgimento history of the Canavese area.
Events and tradition
The Carnival of Ivrea
If your visit coincides with the festival days, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in an experience unique in the world: the Historic Carnival of Ivrea. More than a simple celebration, it is a collective ritual that wraps the city in a magnetic atmosphere, between the sound of the pipes and the citrus scent that fills the air during the famous Battle of the Oranges.
From the parade of the floats to the re-enactment of the Mugnaia, every corner of Ivrea tells a story of freedom and courage. After experiencing the intensity and exuberance of the square, Cascina Moncrava welcomes you as a silent and regenerating retreat: the ideal place to recharge your energy and find peace again, while remaining just a few steps away from the beating heart of the event.
