Golf Club Biella Le Betulle
Le Betulle is one of the true masterpieces of Italian golf
Le Betulle is one of the true masterpieces of Italian golf, a course that has no need for slogans because it speaks directly through its architecture. Set in magnificent woodland among birches, conifers and almost northern stillness, Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s design is a lesson in how demanding, elegant and severe golf can remain perfectly fair. Here the game is the undisputed protagonist. There are no resort distractions, only fairways to interpret, greens to read carefully and the growing realization that you are walking one of the country's most complete layouts. Le Betulle is beloved by experienced players, yet it also fascinates cultivated travelers who recognize the authenticity of places built with intelligence and restraint. It is a genuine pilgrimage stop within any northern Italian golf itinerary. Rather than offering ostentatious luxury, it delivers a higher form of prestige: the purity of great golf at an international level.
Se puoi, giocaci due volte: Le Betulle è uno di quei rari campi che cambiano molto dal primo al secondo giro, quando inizi davvero a comprenderne la logica.

Oasi Zegna: il Bosco Segreto
Ermenegildo Zegna planted millions of trees to transform the Biella hills into a private park open to the public. At dawn, before visitors arrive, the silent paths through rhododendrons and beeches feel like they belong to another era entirely.
“Drive the Panoramica Zegna in late May when the rhododendrons are in full bloom. Enter at 6:00 AM from the north gate: you will have the forest to yourself for at least an hour.”
Tenuta Sperino: Lessona Verticale
Paolo De Marchi brought back to life the Lessona, a nearly extinct hillside nebbiolo, among terraced vineyards above Biella. Private vertical tastings in the cellar reveal how this wine gains complexity decade after decade, rivalling the great Barolos.
“Ask about the 2009 magnum that De Marchi has not yet released: he often opens it for guests who show genuine curiosity about Lessona.”
Il Battistero Longobardo all'Alba
The Biella Baptistery dates to the 5th century and is one of the best-preserved early Christian monuments in Piedmont. The curator accepts private dawn visits: the raking light entering through the Romanesque twin windows transforms the space into something sacred and timeless.
