A food and wine walk through the trails of Soprana, in Valdilana
"Su e giù per le rive" is one of the most beloved spring events in the Biella region. It takes place in Soprana, a village in the municipality of Valdilana, in the Province of Biella, Piedmont. The event combines two passions deeply rooted in the area: hiking through woods and ancient trails, and discovering local culinary traditions.
The trail spans approximately 8 kilometres and is designed to be accessible to everyone, including families. Along the way, participants encounter seven food and wine stops, distributed among trails, riverbanks, and panoramic viewpoints, where they can sample local products, regional dishes, and quality tastings. This is not a race: the pace is that of a leisurely stroll, alternating the pleasure of outdoor activity with moments of rest and socialising.
The meeting point and departure are in the morning, around 9:30 AM, from the area adjacent to the primary school in the Cerruti hamlet, in Soprana. From here, walkers head out along the paths that cross the woods and the banks of the area, in a series of climbs and descents that give the event its name, "Su e giù per le rive" (Up and Down the Banks).
The walk is organised entirely by the Pro Loco of Soprana, thanks to the hard work of volunteers who set up the stops and welcome participants every year. Now in its sixth edition, the event has established itself as a true local tradition in the Biella area, attracting hiking enthusiasts, groups of friends, and families. It is an opportunity to rediscover the charming corners of the Biella hills and enjoy a day of smiles, sharing, and taste, all while celebrating the landscape and products of Piedmont.
The 2026 edition of the "Su e giù per le rive" food and wine walk was held at the end of April in Soprana, in the municipality of Valdilana (BI). Participants set off in the morning, around 9:30 AM, from the Cerruti hamlet, covering the 8-kilometre loop through trails, woods, and scenic landscapes.
Along the route, seven gourmet stops were set up, dedicated to tasting typical products and local dishes. Favoured by a sunny day, the event attracted numerous walkers and concluded with great satisfaction from the organisers, who thanked the volunteers for this beautiful moment of community. The edition confirmed the winning formula that combines nature walks with quality tastings.
