Holiday apartment in Cavallo: trails, lake and local delights

If you are planning a stay in a holiday apartment in Cavallo, you can look forward to a combination of varied trails, lakeside experiences, historical heritage and regional cuisine. The different facets of the area give your travel planning a clear direction: active days on circular trails, peaceful discoveries at Lago della Spina or culinary impressions at local events.

Circular trails for active and relaxing days

Beicà 'n bike is a network of more than 150 km of excursion routes that you can use by bicycle, on foot and also on horseback. This means the offering ranges from extended activities to a more leisurely exploration of the surrounding area.

The Anello di Caval Donato circular trail leads after the Frazione Cavallo along Via Osella to the SR 29. For shorter outings, the Anello corto del Lago della Spina is also suitable for children. It runs along the lake to a statue of the Madonna della Spina carved into a tree trunk.

The long Anello lungo del Lago della Spina circular trail follows the lakeshore to a gallery for filling the lake, continues to a pond and then to the earth dam. From Piazza Risorgimento, this circular trail can be reached via a signposted footpath to the lake. The different route lengths make it easier to adapt your daily plans to your interests and the fitness levels of your fellow travellers.

Historical traces in Cavallo

The cultural history can also be read in specific places. The first historical references to the Santuario della Beata Vergine della Spina come from the visitation report of the Bishop of Asti, Mons. Domenico della Rovere, from 1585. The main altar of the Santuario della Beata Vergine della Spina was erected in 1632.

The votive pillars Pilone dell'Immacolata Concezione and Pilone della Madonna della Guardia are located in Regione Cavallo. At the Palio dei Borghi, Cavallo-Roncaglia is one of the five historic Borghi of Pralormo.

Experience agriculture and the landscape

Società Agricola Agrisapori offers guided farm tours and workshops where you can observe the processing of milk into ice cream, yoghurt and cheese. The farm is one of the educational farms in Pralormo and is located at Strada della Franca 3/1.

Società Agricola Agrisapori covers around 57 hectares; a considerable part of this area has been preserved as original spontaneous woodland. Agricultural insights and protected nature therefore exist in close proximity here.

Local produce and Piedmontese culinary delights

Cascine in Piazza takes place every year in April, at the same time as Messer Tulipano. The market offers typical local produce as well as outstanding local food and wine products.

At the Appuntamento Enogastronomico, menus featuring products from local farms and agricultural businesses are offered during Messer Tulipano in April. The menu included Filzetta, Lardo al rosmarino, Carrè affumicato, Tometta, Tomino al miele e nocciole and Peperone in salsa.
