Camminar Mangiando del Solivo

A gourmet stroll through the Bosco Solivo

The Camminar Mangiando del Solivo is a food and wine walking event organized by the Pro Loco of Borgo Ticino, located in the heart of the Novara province, Piedmont. The concept is simple yet effective: hike an 11.5-kilometer loop trail within the Bosco Solivo Nature Reserve, stopping at various stations along the way to sample local dishes and regional products. Walking and eating blend into a single day to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, in good company and in touch with nature.

The route and the stops

The trail winds through woods, footpaths, and scenic spots within the reserve, passing evocative landmarks such as the Church of San Zeno, Torre Vignola, the Belvedere, and the Prea Guzza. Gastronomic stops accompany participants from start to finish: the journey begins with breakfast at the Parco del Volontariato, continues with snacks and an aperitif in the wooded areas, leads to lunch in the designated picnic zone, and concludes with dessert. The route is suitable for everyone and designed to be accessible to families with children.

Nature and tradition in Borgo Ticino

The event takes place in the municipality of Borgo Ticino and is supported by the Management Body for Protected Areas of the Ticino and Lake Maggiore. Beyond the culinary experience, the day is enriched by moments of relaxation and entertainment for both adults and children, creating a convivial atmosphere that has become a highly anticipated spring event in the Novara area.

An event curated by local associations

The Camminar Mangiando del Solivo stems from the dedication of the Borgo Ticino Pro Loco and collaboration with neighboring town associations, with the support of the AIB corps. It is one of the initiatives that best captures the spirit of the region: the preservation of the natural landscape, the promotion of local products, and the simple pleasure of being together in the great outdoors.
