In the heart of the Veglia-Devero Natural Park, Val Buscagna is located not far from the Italian-Swiss border and is a true paradise for those who love cycling or walking in nature. The hamlet of Goglio di Baceno is the last place reachable by asphalt road, while the Enrico Castiglioni refuge could be useful during your adventures.

Hiking

Hiking through the pristine Val Buscagna is a truly special experience. The open expanse on one side and the rugged mountain range on the other create a fantastic contrast. Add to that the ever-changing light and always vibrant colors, depending on the season. It's one of the most beautiful high valleys in the Alps.
