Borgofranco d'Ivrea

Borgofranco d'Ivrea combines a compact historic settlement with the open Dora Baltea valley in a way that reflects its position beneath the glacial Serra d'Ivrea moraine. This long ridge marks the transition between the Canavese plain and the approach to the Aosta Valley, giving the town an Alpine foothill character. Its best-known local feature is the Balmetti: cellars dug into the foot of the moraine, where naturally circulating cool air has long helped preserve wine and food. The Via Francigena also passes through this part of Piemonte, connecting Borgofranco to a historic European pilgrimage route.
