WHY THIS HIKE

Salecchio, Walser pearl of Ossola

Ehi, hai mai sentito parlare di Salecchio? È un paesino minuscolo in Valle Antigorio, in Piemonte, vicino a Premia. È un posto davvero speciale, sembra uscito da un altro tempo: silenzioso, autentico, con una natura pazzesca e un’atmosfera magica che ti conquista subito. Per arrivarci ci vuole circa un paio d’ore di passeggiata tranquilla, perfetta anche per famiglie e per chi ama fare trekking leggero. Salecchio in realtà è diviso in due parti: Salecchio Inferiore e Salecchio Superiore, entrambi abitati dai Walser, un popolo germanico che si è stabilito in queste valli nel Medioevo. Si vedono ancora oggi le loro tracce come le case in legno e pietra, i granai su pilastri. Possiamo fermarci a pranzare al rifugio Zum Gora, dove Davide ci farà conoscere i suoi lama! Un’escursione adatta a tutti, quindi se ti va di scoprire questo posto incantevole, Ti aspetto a camminare con me

HOW TO GET THERE
09:30MEETING
Departure and arrival at Salecchio
We'll depart from Passo, in Valle Antigorio. From here, first on a paved road, then through a long tunnel, we'll begin the real climb towards Salecchio.

Here we'll stop for lunch, for which we can make use of the Rifugio Zum Gora, run professionally by Davide, who will also show us his Llamas.
13:00WATER
Transfer to Alpe Vova
From Salecchio Superiore, along a gently sloping trail, we'll first reach Case Francoli, another beautifully preserved hamlet, and then arrive at Alpe Vova. From here, via a long mule track, we'll reach the starting point. An all-round hike into the magic of the Walser Ossolano people.

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!
