What to do in the Morainic Amphitheatre of Ivrea

Glacial lakes, villages and vineyards around Ivrea

Shaped by the ancient Baltea glacier, the Morainic Amphitheatre of Ivrea is one of the best-preserved glacial formations in the world: a great horseshoe of hills enclosing eight lakes — Viverone, Sirio, Candia and the others — small villages each with their church and castle, and the vineyards of Erbaluce and Carema. At its centre lies Ivrea, with its old town on the Dora Baltea and its Olivetti architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here's what to do depending on who you're travelling with.
