about the territory
Lakes and Mountains of Upper Piedmont
Between culture, landscape and gastronomy, it's hard to define the main
reason to visit this region. Around Lakes Maggiore and Orta, elegance is present in palaces, botanical gardens and sophisticated hospitality.
The mountains of the Val D'Ossola, meanwhile, preserve medieval villages, traditional grazing, vineyards cultivated for generations and the wilderness of Val Grande National Park offers contact with something more primitive and authentic.
This region is becoming a great destination for those who love cycling. In fact, these majestic mountains and valleys are home to the current men's and women's time trial champions and have a vast history of with Giro D'Italia, which has allowed us to map out the most interesting and challenging routes of our Cycle Camp.
For those who like to eat well, we are in the region of gastronomical excellence, with award-winning restaurants, famous Nebbiolo wines, Bettelmat and Gorgonzola cheeses, sausages, Porcini mushrooms and Risotto.
about Mergozzo
Mergozzo
A charming town of colorful houses, churches, chapels and staircases built with local stone. A 7-minute walk along the lakefront leads to the main square, a place for events, meetings and a majestic historic tree: a 500-year-old elm.
The lake with the same name, is about four kilometers long and two kilometers wide. Its pristine waters have led it to be classified as the cleanest in Italy. A reserve for migratory birds, a place for triathlons, canoeing and ideal for for swimming and paddling in our SUp.
