Antrona Schieranco is the chief town in the Valle Antrona. It came into being in 1928 with the merging of two pre-existing Ossola municipalities, Antrona Piana and Schieranco, both with their own rich historical heritage.
The territory of the town, together with that of the municipality of Borgomezzavalle, falls within the Upper Valle Antrona Natural Park, one of the parts of the Val d’Ossola, protected and enhanced, together with the Veglia-Devero Natural Park, by the Ossola Protected Areas Management Body.
From spring to autumn, Antrona Schieranco is an ideal starting point for excursions to the lakes that are scattered over the nearby mountains and includes several hamlets: one of the most charming and picturesque of these is certainly Cheggio, a small group of mountain huts built in stone and wood, near the Alpe Cavalli Dam.
As often happens in Val d’Ossola, you can immediately bump into beauty and uniqueness of this places during a pause or a stroll among streets and hamlets of this little known area, completely natural!
