|
From the Ferioli hut the trail goes down quickly to Pedemonte, crossing wide meadows until the Alpe Mud and entering the wood. From Pedemonte, it follows the bottom of the valley, passing Alegna Valsesia and then Riva Valdobbia. Going up the Vogna valley, it reaches the small village of Sant'Antonio.
Detailed route description
From the Ferioli hut a steep trail heads down through high pastures, past Alpe Venghi and on to Alpe Mud. It enters the woods and continues the descent to Pedemonte at the bottom of the valley. Follow the left bank of the River Sesia to Alagna Valsesia, an area much frequented by tourists offering many services for walkers. A bridge over the river leads into Alagna. Cross the village and the river again at the other end via a new bridge further downstream. A track bypasses the hamlet of Balma and, crossing the river Sesia once again, leads to Riva Valdobbia. From the village a trail heads into the Vogna valley, cutting out the first bends in the road. Near a church the trail joins the road, which climbs to the hamlet of Sant'Antonio (an hour from Riva Valdobbia).
