San Domenico di Varzo

Highlight • Settlement

Tourist and ski resort, full of services. The road is narrow at times and many cars and even buses can pass, so be careful when going downhill.

La Balma Alpine Village

Highlight • Settlement

La Balma is a fairytale place to say the least. Small and ancient stone houses are surrounded by an amphitheater of solemn mountains.

Rifugio Città di Arona

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Città di Arona Refuge is located in the Alpe Veglia and Alpe Devero Park. The opening period goes from June to September/October. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Valle Cairasca and Monte Leon.
In winter the winter bivouac is open, inside which there are 9 beds, mattresses, blankets, pillows and candles.

Great view of Monte Leone which gives its name to the Leonian Alps.

Alpe Veglia

Highlight • Settlement

Once you have climbed with difficulty and passed the paving and a small church, a beautiful flat stretch begins that will take you up here. Only enjoyment. It always blows some air so in my opinion a windproof jacket is always appropriate..

Entrance to Alpe Veglia National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

Uncomplicated route but with steep slopes to be done especially in summer, other seasons not recommended due to snow risk
