Beautiful climb above Varallo, a hidden gem that is worth the climb to Alpe Sacchi (last 500m on level ground on a dirt road). The climb is very tough in the central part with 3-4 km that are really demanding but which are amply repaid by the view of Lake Orta from the exit of the forest. Truly beautiful and interesting, recommended... read more

Bella salita sopra Varallo, una gemma nascosta che vale l'ascesa fino all'Alpe Sacchi (ultimi 500m in piano su strada sterrata). La salita è molto dura nella parte centrale con 3-4 km veramente impegnativi ma che si ripagano ampiamente dalla vista sul lago d'Orta dall'uscita del bosco. Veramente bella e interessante, consigliata
