About The Area
Biella is a superb choice for golfers who want an Italy golf holiday with Alpine scenery, peaceful countryside and a proper hidden-gem feel. Set in Piedmont at the foot of the Biellese Alps, the city blends historic streets, mountain views, textile heritage, local food and easy access to both Turin and Milan. Italy’s official tourism site highlights Biella’s medieval heart, including the old Piazzo district set above the lower town.
The main golfing highlight is Golf Club Biella “Le Betulle”, located in Magnano, just a few kilometres from Biella and Ivrea. Built in the late 1950s, the course sits along the slopes of the Serra moraine in charming countryside that feels made for golf. Designed by English architect John Morrison, the 18-hole course winds through old birch and beech woodland, creating a classic, natural parkland test with real Piedmont character.
For golfers who enjoy courses with pedigree, Le Betulle is a standout. The club notes that it has been ranked first in Italy by Mondo del Golf 18 times and has never fallen outside the top three in that ranking, which gives the destination serious golfing credibility.
Away from the fairways, Biella is ideal for slow Italian exploring. The official local tourism site promotes the area for outdoor tourism, UNESCO sites, Alpine sanctuaries, slow itineraries, cashmere and local flavours.
For UK golfers, Biella works beautifully as part of a tailor-made Piedmont golf holiday, combining outstanding golf, mountain scenery, food, wine and easy northern Italy travel. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right courses, hotels, transfers and wider itinerary.
