Walking
a natural territory perfect for exploring on foot
The heights and mountains surrounding the course of the Sesia river and the side valleys of its tributaries are a natural territory perfect for exploring on foot with short or day hikes, or with longer trekking routes even at high altitude from refuge to refuge. From the Novara and Gattinara Hills to Varallo Sesia and then climbing up Valsesia to Alagna, there are countless paths in this area that literally offer hikes for every level of experience and physical preparation, from a short walk for families among the vineyards with a modest elevation gain, to steep mountain trails towards some of the most scenic points of the area.
An area that literally offers hikes for every level of experience and physical preparation
The trails of Valsesia are often also the way to access places of natural and cultural interest, discovering the unspoiled nature of the side valleys and immersing oneself in Valsesian culture among archaeological finds, churches, and ruins of castles, and of course the heritage of Walser culture in the upper valley. Trekking routes with overnight stays in refuge or bivouac like the Great Traversata of Valsesia are the natural evolution of daily hikes and the gateway to a total immersion in the alpine dimension of Valsesia.
