Excursions in the nature
Besides the cultural visits, San Giorgio also offers the possibility of pleasant excursions in its natural surroundings.
Its
particular position, in a transition zone between the fluvial and alluvial
territory and that of the Morainic Amphitheater of Ivrea,
permit
the visitor to move in a varied natural environment. They can pass from
the fluvial area of the Orco, (named "l'eva d'or", that means
"the golden water", because of the gold particles that they can
find in the sand), which is a summer meeting point for bathers within a
stone's throw from the small town of Cortereggio, to the morainic hills
of Misobolo where among mushrooms-rich woods they can find the vineyards
of the vintage Erbaluce.
