WHY THIS HIKE

Alagna Valsesia, glaciers and Walser

Magnificent excursion through time, in an alpine environment of great value! The itinerary develops for a first part on a simple path that runs along the stream, we will arrive at the Cascate dell'Acqua Bianca (ritual photo on the large bench that contemplates them ) and then climb a beautiful path and reach the Casa del Parco and Alpe Pile (whoever wants can stop here and enjoy the meadow and services of the Rifugio Pastore). We will continue to climb a steep but beautiful path to Alpe Bors, a clear example of a glacial cirque, and then reach (weather permitting) the most panoramic point and closest to the glacier tongues of the imposing Monte Rosa. We will be impressed! A path that combines nature, geological history and rare alpine panoramas. ** for those who are less trained, you can stop at two intermediate points (with Refuges / rest stops).

Group chat a couple of days before

Alpe Pile
We begin to climb through a beautiful steep path with steps that takes us first to a magnificent glacial cirque (further stopping point) and then to the end of the geological path (weather permitting). It goes without saying how majestic and imposing it is to see the glacier's ice tongues up close.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Cinzia, an environmental hiking guide, and I can't wait to walk together, take in some landscapes and get to know new places in cheerful company. I put a lot of care and a lot of time into choosing what to offer: I only pick the outings that move me, whether it's the views, the nature, the traditions (culinary ones included, obviously), the people or the history. The reason is simple — if they don't move me, they're unlikely to move the people walking with me. What I love most is the moment we head back: everyone carries home in their little backpack not just good photos and smiles, but something extra to remember. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
