Descrizione

The Via Geoalpina of the Val Grande National Park is part of an international project that aims at  spreading knowledge about earth sciences, such as geology, geomorphology, hydrology, natural hazards or the exploitation of stone through marked trails, which arouse the interest of tourists and hikers about the history of the formation of the Alps and the secrets of the earth. The itinerary strengthens and enhances, on the one hand, the network of historical and environmental routes that innerve the hiking system in the area between Verbano-Cusio-Ossola and Upper Novara and, on the other hand, the north-eastern ridge of the Sesia Val Grande Unesco Global Geopark, which crosses the territory of the National Park and the surrounding areas from the Italian-Swiss border to Campello Monti in Strona Valley. Walking along the Via Geoalpina, in addition to enjoying an extraordinary variety of landscapes and mountain environments, the hiker will also find two important sections of geological interest (equipped with didactic panels), such as the Pogallo Line, in the homonymous valley, and the so-called "Serie dei Laghi" along the ridge of the Cadorna Line from Pian Cavallo to Zeda. The itinerary then joins both the departure point of Falmenta-Gurro and the arrival point of Campello Monti on the legs of the Great Crossing of the Alps in the Piedmont region and can represent an alternative of extraordinary interest to reach Lake Maggiore from Sesia Valley.
