WHY THIS HIKE

Alpe Argnaccia, Valsesia

There's a corner of Valsesia that few people know about. And we're taking you right there.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

It's called Alpe Argnaccia, and while the upper valley's famous spots get all the attention, this place quietly steals the show. Morning departure, backpack on, and step by step the valley opens up with views you won't see coming. A day hike, genuine and off the beaten path: here time slows down and nature does the rest.

Why join us: - discover a spot outside the classic tourist routes - experience Valsesia's most authentic, lesser-known side - the perfect pace to soak in every view without rushing - come home with landscapes you won't forget

Book your spot: the Guidders are waiting to share this discovery with you.

Trailhead
After passing through the village of Campertogno and crossing the bridge over the Sesia River, we reach the start of the long mule track that will lead us up to Alpe Argnaccia. While the trail is quite steep, we’ll take it at a steady, relaxed pace, soaking in all the beauty and inspiration that the surrounding nature has to offer.
C
12:30MOUNTAIN HUT
Alpe Argnaccia
Once we finish the steep mule track, we arrive at the beautiful Alpe Argnaccia, with its traditional mountain huts and charming little lake. Here, nature and human craftsmanship have worked in harmony to shape this rural landscape. We will continue along the trail until we reach Alpe Cangello, where we will enjoy our packed lunch.
D
14:00RETURN
Return to Campertogno
We’ll head back down to the valley, but not before stopping at a local farm stay to enjoy a delicious dessert. From there, we’ll descend a steep trail that leads us to the "Cascata degli sciocchi" (Fools' Waterfall) before arriving in Campertogno, where a refreshing post-hike beer awaits. In short, get ready for a great time! We look forward to seeing you there.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gilberto, an environmental hiking guide. They say happiness is only real when shared, and for me there's no greater joy than a view earned together. I take people to find the most genuine side of our trails, away from the rush and at footprint pace. I can't wait to share with you not only the walking, but the stories, the silences and — why not — a good piece of cheese at the top. Backpack on, we'll work out the rest as we go. Experience, care for safety and that pinch of adventure it takes to make an outing unforgettable: joining the next walk? 🧀 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
