チェッポ・モレッリの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

We actually planned to cross the mountain from here in mid-May and hike to Alagna Valsesia (highest point at about 2600m). From 2020m, it was impossible to go any further due to the snow! We had to turn around, hike back to Quarrazza, and take a rather inconvenient public transport route via Domodossola and Novara to roughly where we wanted to go (instead of 25km over the mountain, it was about 125km by car or about 6 hours by public transport). So carefully consider the time of year and what equipment you plan to use for this hike. It's extremely dangerous with regular hiking gear and definitely not possible if there's snow on the trail!

Overnight accommodation and a great starting point for various mountain tours.

Top location to look forward to and enjoy. With a bit of luck, cows and goats will keep you company.

Stunning refuge at the foot of the eastern Monte Rosa, the only Himalayan style wall in the Alps. This refuge is easily accessible but also the starting point for other more challenging tours. It is very famous nowadays and very popular. Count on to secure a necessary place. https://www.rifugiozamboni.com/

Historical place of primary importance at 1800 meters. For centuries trade exchanges have taken place and also thanks to the proximity of Lake Baranca. The Hotel was the center of the market. One of the most beautiful mountain pastures in the area.

Great food, simple but clean accommodation, very nice hostess

The Alpe Baranca refuge is located in the green Baranca valley at 1600 m. Its position makes it an excellent stopping and overnight point on the GTA path and on the "Via Alpina" itinerary. For overnight stays it is always better to call 3478659385 or send an email for reservations. From the refuge you can also enjoy a beautiful panorama and you can observe roe deer, marmots and chamois.

Location where three valleys meet. Location has always been a strategic place in the past. Trade was literally carried on at a high level here. Historical explanation: A prime location at an altitude of 1800 meters where trade was conducted at a high level for centuries. The location at Lake Baranca was traded from the three valleys that converge here. At this commercial building 'Albergo...' was the center of the marketplace. Take your time to think back in time. Hear the braying of the donkeys... Enjoy the sales pitches. It's a busy place here when the merchandise has changed hands and the goods are loaded on another donkey into the other valley, on their way to a new marketplace in the valley below. We can no longer imagine trading at a high level of this order. Still a place to muse and fantasize.
