    Tips

    September 1, 2023

    The Sesia (Walser German female: Seeschera) is a river in Italy. It rises in the glaciers of the Monte Rosa massif, in the upper Valsesia valley above the municipality of Alagna Valsesia. In the upper section, the Sesia bears the clear characteristics of a torrent. There it receives numerous smaller streams, most of which come from the Valgrande glaciers. It receives numerous inflows along its course; on the right side of the Valsesia are the streams Olen, Otro, Vogna, Artogna, Zorba and Egna; on the left the Torrente Sermenza and the Mastallone.

    The Sesia flows for a total of 138 kilometers through the towns of Borgosesia, Greggio and Vercelli before flowing into the Po. It forms the border between Piedmont and Lombardy. In the region around Arborio and Vercelli it serves as a source of water for rice cultivation.

    A minority language of Piedmont is Walser German - an Alemannic dialect spoken in the upper Sesia/Seeschera valley.
