Pietre Gemelle Resort

This is a beautiful excursion to do in the pre-Alps by bike at the foot of the Monte Rosa massif. The departure is in Riva Valdobbia and the journey reaches the Acqua Bianca waterfall that shines with its 30m high. Almost the entire route runs along the Sesia river passing through picturesque mountain villages. Nearby is also the Sesia waterfall, one of the best known waterfalls in Italy.

This is a pleasant route that crosses many of the ancient hamlets around Alagna. A beautiful and perfect excursion without any difficulty. Perfect for its variety of offerings: a cool forest, a beautiful waterfall, picturesque mountain villages and wonderful views.

From Sant'Antonio the trail follows the stream upwards through Vogna valley, turning aside later towards the Alpe Larecchio pasture. It then leads to the Valdobbia pass and the Ospizio Sottile hut. The pass leads into Aosta Valley via an old merchant route. Through pastures and a protected area, thick with plant and animal life, the trail then descends to the valley floor and Gressoney-Saint-Jean.

This is a rather demanding walk through beautiful alpine landscapes that reaches the Rifugio Ferrero (2247m) at the foot of the Piode Glacier. The departure is at the Oratory of Santa Maria Maddalena in Merletti in the province of Alagna Valsesia. The route runs along the Sesia river to the Acqua Bianca waterfall and then quickly climbs up to Alpe Fonflua Superiore. From here there are spectacular views. The descent runs alongside the Sesia river again to the starting point of the route.

From the Ferioli hut the trail goes down quickly to Pedemonte, crossing wide meadows until the Alpe Mud and entering the wood. From Pedemonte, it follows the bottom of the valley, passing Alegna Valsesia and then Riva Valdobbia. Going up the Vogna valley, it reaches the small village of Sant'Antonio.
