Trekking

Nomads in search of corners of peace/ Lost in Nordic fogs
among the ruins of civilization/ Going through the lights
and shades and monotony/ Of days that go by/ Oh you walker/
In search of peace as the sun goes down/ You will find it/
At the end of the road/ And I will leave/ The cities /
Awaiting to wake up/ Travelers in search of hospitality/ In
hamlets bathed in the sun/ And on the shallows of immensity/
They fall asleep on the pillows of the earth/ Foreigner in
search of the unfathomable dimension/ You will find it, away
from the city, at the end of the road. (Franco Battiato -
Nomadi)
A thick system of paths cover the upper part of the
Valsesia. Four are the main lines: the Otro valley, covered
by the path number 3, the Olen valley, covered by the path
number 5 arriving closed to the Punta Indren glacier, the
Natural Park Alta Valsesia, easy to reach with the bus
Alagna Acqua Bianca and the Vogna valley, wild and
suggestive fluvial valley, connecting the Valsesia with the
Aosta Valley
