Slightly less demanding than Alpe di Mera, I prefer it because it is quieter and in a more intact environment. The best in the upper Sesia valley.... read more

Slightly less demanding than Alpe di Mera, I prefer it because it is quieter and in a more intact environment. The best in the upper Sesia valley.

Leggermente meno impegnativa rispetto all'alpe di Mera, la preferisco perché più silenziosa e in un ambiente più intatto. La migliore nell'alta val Sesia.
