Walking
Hiking High Valley

The heights and mountains surrounding the course of the Sesia River and the lateral valleys of its tributaries are a perfect natural territory to explore on foot with short excursions or day trips, or with longer trekking routes even at high altitudes from hut to hut.

From Gattinara to Varallo Sesia and then ascending the Valsesia to Alagna, there are countless trails in this area that literally offers excursions for every level of experience and athletic preparation, from short family walks with modest elevation gain to steep mountain trails leading to some of the most scenic points in the region.
