Cicogna, the small capital of Val Grande National Park<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Cicogna is a small mountain village at 800 mt a.s.l., situated on the mountains behind lake Maggiore
near Verbania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Cicogna it is possible to go inside the valley only by foot, following the paths in the forest, by the river and in the mountains offering fantastic views.
Walking on the paths you can find the traces of the civilization that lived in these places in the past and discover the history inside wild nature. Small pastures with stone houses, chapels, stairs and stone paths, ancient buildings that remain over age; history and nature come together in a magical and exciting landscape.
