Location and leisure
The work camp is situated in Chiaverano, located 50 km from both Turin and Aosta. Nestled on the hills of the Serra Morenica, it boasts a stunning view of the moraine arch. The area offers a tapestry of landscapes to explore, with lanes winding through vineyards, forest paths, mule tracks, and rural alleys. These settings are perfect for walks or bicycle rides, along with excursions and sporting activities such as canoeing on the lake and swimming. At the base of these hills lie five lakes of significant geological, naturalistic, and faunal interest.
The closest airport to Chiaverano is Turin Caselle Airport. Other accessible airports include Milan Malpensa, Linate, and Orio al Serio in the Lombardy region. The nearest train station is in Ivrea. There are options for trains or buses connecting the airports and Turin, and from Turin to Ivrea, one can again choose between train or bus services. Additionally, there is a bus service from Ivrea directly to Chiaverano. More detailed information regarding transportation and logistics will be provided in the Infosheet.
