The Formazza Valley, at the extreme north east of the Ossola Valleys, is harsh and wild and is known for it high pastures which are dominated by high mountains and numerous alpine lakes.
The typical Walser villages of Valdo, Ponte, Formazza and Riale, are the heart of the Walser Community in the Formazza Valley. This Valley is also famous for the splendid Toce waterfall 143 metres high.
An itinerary of great interest to show us the perfect union between man and nature, on one side beautiful alpine scenes and on the other the capability of man to use natural resources.
A journey over ancient paths which lead to characteristic Walser hamlets for example: Salecchio, Antillone and Case Francoli, a true step in the past.
