Ossola is an area of high mountains, where
nature is the real protagonist, offering itself
intact to the tourist. Skiing as well as all
other sports can be practised on ski runs which
meet the needs of everybody, from beginners to
experts. In Spring and Summer, there are
thousands of tracks for lovers who can find
hospitality in the many mountain refuges and
campings of the great natural parks such as
National Park of the Val Grande aimed at the
preservation of the Alps' flora and fauna.
The Ossola Area, like the Verbano Area, has many
meaningful historic and artistic
evidences. To remind it, there is
the ancient village of Vogogna, a Medieval burg
with cobble-stone paving alleys, which became,
in XIV century, an important political and
military centre, as testified by the ruins of
Castello Visconteo and the Rock. From Vogogna by car in only 15 minutes you can reach
the famous Lago
Maggiore, the province of Verbania, Lago of Mergozzo and Domodossola. Not
far from there, you will find Macugnaga (for skiing), and the Water falls of Formazza (highest
in Europe).
