Full Moon Walk
Night-time run and walk under the moonlight in the Serra woods
About Full Moon Walk
A night of full moon in the Serra woods
The Full Moon Walk has become a highly anticipated date on the summer calendar of Torrazzo, a small town in the Province of Biella nestled on the Serra Morenica, one of the most picturesque hills in Piedmont. It is a non-competitive run and walk that takes place at dusk, when the forest paths are illuminated only by the light of the full moon and the participants' headlamps. It is not a traditional timed race: it is primarily a different and poetic way to experience nature, sharing the effort and smiles with friends, families, and curious visitors.
Two routes for everyone
The event offers two loop trails starting and ending near the village:
- 6 km route, ideal for families, children, and walkers;
- 10 km route, designed for those looking for a bit more distance and elevation gain through the Serra woods.
Every participant must be equipped with a headlamp or torch, which is essential for safely navigating the dark trails. Given the season, mosquito repellent is also recommended. The initiative is particularly loved by children, who participate in large numbers every year with their headlamps on, making the evening even more lively.
Sport, nature, and socialising
The Full Moon Walk was born from the desire of the Pro Loco Torrazzo APS to promote the Serra area and offer an opportunity for outdoor gathering. After its debut in 2024 and the growing success of the 2025 edition, which drew nearly 140 participants, the event has established itself as one of the most enjoyable summer happenings in the Biella area. The atmosphere is relaxed and festive: people walk or run in groups, chat, admire the night landscape, and end the evening together.
The social moment
Upon returning, participants find refreshments and the opportunity to stay for a convivial dinner at the Bocciodromo of Torrazzo, the event's organizational hub. The evening concludes with a prize draw featuring items provided by local sponsors and businesses, a way to thank those who support the community and its volunteers. For those who want to discover the authentic soul of the Biella Serra, the Full Moon Walk is an unmissable experience.
Full Moon Walk — edition 2026
The third edition of the Full Moon Walk takes place on Friday, June 26, 2026, in Torrazzo, in the Province of Biella. The formula that won over participants in previous years is confirmed: two loop routes of 6 and 10 km through the Serra woods, to be tackled in the dark with a mandatory headlamp. The meeting point is the Torrazzo Bocciodromo, where the evening will kick off. The non-competitive event is open to runners, families, and children, and concludes with a social gathering and a prize draw.
