Nice climb above Varallo, a hidden gem that is worth the climb up to Alpe Sacchi (last 500m flat on dirt road). The climb is very hard in the middle part with 3-4km really challenging but that is amply repaid by the view of Lake d'Orta from the exit of the woods. Really 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
