among the most beautiful villages in Italy

Rassa is a small town in the upper Valsesia, located in Piedmont in the province of Vercelli which has just over 60 inhabitants, but despite this it is a very suggestive mountain village. It is located between the Gronda river and the Sorba river and is ideal for excursions to explore the two valleys where there are numerous paths to follow in a day or over several days. This environment rich in rivers, pastures, lakes, mountains and woods changes depending on the season, but always has something to offer all year round.

Beautiful mountain pasture still maintained with a beautiful view of Valsesia.

Monte Bo on the ridge that divides Val Sorba from the Meggiana basin, panorama towards the Monte Rosa group and the main groove of Valsesia.

Church above Campertogno, entitled to the Madonna del Callone, in dialect Madonna 'd sal Calùn, is a place of worship that is part of the local culture in a very profound way so much so that the entire itinerary is entitled to the Life of Mary.

The Alpe Mezzana Refuge is a typical mountain structure, surrounded by greenery, which offers a panoramic view over the entire Valsesia, from around 1560 meters above sea level. The refuge can be reached by car, about 15 minutes from the municipality of Piode and offers a restaurant service during the summer period.

Monte Bo di Valsesia is located at 2072 meters. Monte Bo is located on the watershed crest that divides Val Sorba from the Meggiana basin. The ridge originates from the Testone delle Tre Alpi, from which the Bo is separated by a collar called Colma Colora or Bocchetta del Bo (2,023 m). From the summit you can admire the Monte Rosa group and Valsesia. On the top, in addition to a statue of the Madonna, there is the trigonometric geodetic point of the IGM called Monte Bo di Valsesia.

From the Alpe the view extends over a vast area of Valsesia.
