The church of Alagna became a parish church in 1475 when it was separated from St. Michele\u2019s church of Riva Valdobbia.

The parish priest of Alagna, Don Carlo Elgo, a passionate mountaineer and expert skier, has several mountaineering ascents on his CV and the record of more than 120 ascents to the Capanna Margherita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, after having been the guide of the village's Catholic community since 1980, he has retired to give way to Don Alberto, reference point for all the parishes in the Upper Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
