A great place for a short break or a snack. The rocks are also suitable for dogs.

This place is perfect for taking a break and admiring the pools of water that form between the rocks of the Toce riverbed, fully enjoying the nature of the Ossola Valley.

A particularly fascinating Roman humpback pedestrian bridge that crosses the Toce River.

There is a feeling of abrupt detachment when we enter what seems to be the mysterious door to the very heart of the mountain: almost suddenly we pass from a gentle, sunny and verdant landscape to a space of shadow where rare rays of sun struggle to penetrate, grazing the walls like blades of light, we pass from the heat to the cool-humid where only mosses and lichens manage to thrive and develop. We walk easily on the flat and dry bottom, created by the deposits of the streams, large irregularly rounded cavities alternate with narrow passages and above our heads dizzying walls seem at times to almost join together leaving only narrow openings towards the sky. Some metal ladders make the climb easier.

In Maiesso (535 m) you can admire, along the course of the Toce river, the so-called 'giants' potholes': the rocky banks hit by the swirling subglacial current, have been sculpted as if they were soft clay, giving rise to semicircular, sinuous, smooth and enveloping shapes, splendid inlets where the current relaxes and the torrent widens into sparkling pools of water that invite you to take a dive and a 'vivifying' immersion. Here you can also observe the "zero unit", the oldest formation in our Alps that emerges only here in the Antigorio valley.

Small village, I loved the climb to get there.

Small town, here are the spas but above all the famous Crodino, very good to drink.

Small iconic town, known for its ancient thermal springs and for the "Crodino" drink which is still produced here in a factory. Mandatory crossing point to and from the Formazza valley, a beautiful road that connects the mountains to the valley floor, beautiful to cycle on! You will also find services such as a bar, a nice bakery and a shop with local products.
