Varallo, Valsesia and Monte Rosa: the wonder of the Alps among Nature, Art and Tradition
Uncontaminated nature, amazing landscapes and magical valleys with crystal-clear watercourses: Valsesia, "the greenest valley of Italy” winds along the foot of Mount Rosa and is crossed by the Sesia river, renowned and loved by sport fans for its many fluvial activities and its clear waters abounding with fish. The valley offers enchanting scenarios both for winter sports, thanks to the vast Monterosa Ski resort with quick connections to Valle d’Aosta, and the variety of summer activities. Unique local products, ancient recipes from the mountain cuisine tradition and the prestigious Nebbiolo wines (Gattinara DOCG) make each visit a one-of-a-kind experience with unforgettable and authentic flavors. Yet Valsesia is also a land of art and culture, with museums and eco-museums, churches, the masterpieces of the Walser architecture, traditional craftsmanship, period car meetings inspired by the origins of the Lancia family and the Fondazione FS steam engines along with important testimonies of its past.
