Anzasca Valley is a real environmental and cultural treasure trove: the east face of Monte Rosa, one of the breath-taking natural sights of the Ossola Valley, the Walser buildings, the small museums, the traditional cuisine and gold mines… Macugnaga, located right at the foot of the vast face of Monte Rosa, boasts as an important mountaineering history as the stage of adventurous and sometimes tragic stories.
Valle Anzasca can be reached by taking the A26 Genova-Gravellona Toce motorway, following signs for the national border. Take the Piedimulera exit and continue on Valle Anzasca’s trunk road 549 until you reach Macugnaga.
Here are the route created with the invaluable collaboration of Paolo Barcellini, a CAI Valle Anzasca hiking guide.
