Trail Running
Alagna - Otro Trail

Trail running in the kingdom of the Walser

The route of this trail running competition, little known elsewhere in Italy but highly appreciated by trail runners in Valsesia, touches on several fractions of Val d'Otro with typical Walser houses and buildings, and is also very enjoyable as a slower-paced excursion.
