After telling you about which places to visit in summer, we are back again to give you advice and tips about what to visit in winter in Alagna Valsesia. We are certain that even the most expert tourists will discover new possibilities and enjoy preparing their holiday in this fantastic territory. So, let’s jumpstart with a hike from Ca’ di Janzo to Peccia, an easy trail, suitable even for children, which allows you to explore the heart of Valle Vogna along an antique route that connected Riva Valdobbia with Gressoney and France for centuries. Total hiking time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes on foot and half an hour by bicycle with a height above sea level of just about 146 meters. We highly recommend a traditional lunch at the refuge Sant’Antonio, where you can savour the home cooking of Silvana, mamma to farmers, cultivators and ski instructors, who transform each of her luncheons into a family lunch! A fantastic itinerary in all seasons and not only in summer.
