Val Grande National Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Val Grande is a wild territory between the valley of Ossola and Lake Maggiore. It has become a famous tourist destination after the establishment of the homonym National Park wich includes the biggest wild area in Italy and in the Alps.

The rich nature of the National Park features trekking destinations for all: there are a lot of itineraries, it is possible to do advanced trekking with a hiking guide or to take quite walks following historic and natural paths.
You can walk through the small villages of the mountain region, discovering history and tradition of past civilization.

Classic excursions are for example a trek that passes trough Val Grande, named \u201cMalesco-Colloro\u201d, which approaches the heart of the valley. “in La Piana” or the trekking that goes on its mountain ridges named \u201cCicogna-Finero\u201d or \u201csentiero Bove\u201d .
The annual appointment with the \u201csentiero Chiovini\u201d is an excursion that combines the discovery of unspoiled nature with a lesson in recent history: Val Grande, a borderland, experienced the bloodiest pages of the partisan resistance during World War II.
