Ossola Valleys

Vogogna and its Castle

A famous Italian song tells about a boy looking for Africa in his backyard… and here in Vogogna you can really find Africa! Here, like nowhere in the world, the African tectonic plate appears from the deep of the Earth and we can take a look on it… isn’t she lovely? Follow the Geological Path to discover more on it.

And what about the magnificent medieval castle around the corner? It seems like knights and dames left it just a minute ago.

If you are sporty enough, you can also climb up the hill and discover another hidden treasure: Genestredo and its rock.

Really, this little village at the beginning of Val d’Ossola has a lot of surprises for us if we are curious enough to discover it! By the way, the headquarter of Valgrande National Park is settled here in Vogogna… a whole other story!
