Parco Burcina Natural Reserve

The natural reserve spans 57 hectares across the municipalities of Pollone and Biella, reaching elevations from 570 to 829 meters above sea level.

Giovanni Piacenza purchased the land in the first half of the 19th century and initiated its transformation into a park influenced by English landscape gardens.

The park design incorporates both local flora and exotic species, including giant sequoias, creating diverse botanical collections throughout its grounds.

Three pedestrian entrances provide access to different sections of the park, with the main entrance located in Pollone featuring an environmental education center.

A two-hectare valley contains extensive rhododendron plantings that produce colorful displays during their peak blooming period in mid-May.
