The main itinerary of the Sentiero delle Pietre Bianche Trail (SPB) is made up of a number of closely connected loops that together cover the territory of 11 municipalities in the Provinces of Torino and Vercelli, with some variants providing pleasant detours from the itinerary: overall, there are over 50 km of marked trails.
Its winding paths provide easy connections between the various municipalities of the area while at the same time offering the option of doing local loops of the circular route known as the Alta Via dell'Anfiteatro Morenico d'Ivrea (AMI, or Ivrea Moraine Amphitheatre High Road), a hilly route of over 110 km (taking only the main trail into consideration) that runs along the entire development of the morain ridge of the Morainic Amphitheatre of Ivrea, connecting the Municipality of Andrate with the Municipality of Brosso. The Pietre Bianche Trail also provides a link between the AMI and Lake Candia with its attractive Nature Park, a real jewel in the area's crown. It is made up of a number of paths suitable for walking, mountain biking and horse riding, which connect with the AMI circular route and with a further network of local routes of touristic and cultural interest, including the itinerary known as Oro del Ghiacciaio (literally, glacial gold) in the Municipality of Mazzè, the Masso Rabasso trail in the Municipality of Orio Canavese and the Candia Lake wetlands trails.
