Parco naturale dell'Alta Val Sesia e dell'Alta Val Strona

The natural park extends across mountain ranges and valleys, featuring diverse ecosystems with abundant plant species and wildlife throughout its protected territory.

The area received its first environmental protection status in 1979, later expanding to become an official regional park in 2009 through local government initiatives.

The surrounding towns maintain traditional agricultural practices and local customs, while neighboring Varallo contains the Renaissance complex of Sacro Monte.

Multiple entry points connect to an extensive network of marked trails, allowing visitors to explore different sections of the park throughout the year.

The park territory includes evidence of an ancient supervolcano, making it a significant location for geological research and mineral studies.
