Summer has begun blowing its hot wind even in our valley: while on the summits of Monte Rosa you can still savour the taste of snow, at lower altitudes the meadows have turned green again, offering many opportunities for relaxation and fun to those who love sport and active vacations. There are so many things to see and do once you get there.
Hiking and trekking are practically infinite, and many are found within the del Parco Naturale Alta Val Sesia( Upper Val Sesia Nature Park). From small treks (Valle Vogna, Alpe Zube, Bivacco Ravelli etc.) to several days' trekking, such as the GTA (Great Crossing of the Alps) and the Alpine Way, which runs through our valleys. A tip for fans is to download the map on the page dedicated to trails: just enter your name and e-mail address to receive it with a click! Summer is also the right season for climbing: we have talked about it in the article 3 perfect climbing walls for you to climb in the summer, where we have listed the best spots where you can experience the thrill of vertical climbing. Read it now!
Equally practised is sport fishing and in particular, the famous "Valsesian fly fishing", a true art also famous outside national boundaries. For an overview of fishing permits and special regulatory areas, please see the free downloadable PDF map of the link. The River Sesia is also a destination sought out by lovers of white water sports.
The cool, unspoilt waters of the River Sesia offer a variety of recreational opportunities: in addition to the classical group rafting which is accompanied by an authorised guide, and we point out as examples canoeing, hydrospeed and canyoning, to be tried at least once in a lifetime to enjoy a healthy adrenaline dose in total safety. For those looking for something more peaceful, and suitable for small children, it is worth considering the many day trips, to visit the Mulino di Mollia, the villages of Rimasco and Rima San Giuseppe or Lago d'Orta further away, all inserted in a landscape framed in extraordinary charm.
