Day 1: Rendez-vous at Malpensa Airport from 12.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.
Then we transfer by bus to Carcoforo. Welcome dinner and tour detailed presentation
Day 2: From Carcoforo through the Termo pass (8310 - 2531 meters) we reach Rima (4628 - 1411 meters), the first noble example of the Walser civilization.
Most of its inhabitants migrated all over the world (America, Russia...) working as wood craftsmen, but their artistic houses still resist here
Day 3: A constant ascent next to the Tagliaferro, a beautiful sharpenned mountain, to reach the Mud Pass and the Ferioli hut (7427 - 2264 meters) where we spend the night.
From now on, we'll be constantly watching the spectacular Monte Rosa panorama
Day 4: We enter the Valsesia by coming down to reach Alagna's Ronchi (3937 - 1200 meters), climbing up again to share the dream of Jo, an old friend of ALPtrek who lives in Alpe Sattal 6878 - 2097 meters both during summer and winter.
We will pass the night listening to his story
Day 5: A relaxing day: we can choose to have sun bath, walking for two hours to reach the Moanda Pass (7946 - 2422 meters) or directly reach Gil and his Alpe Campo (6396 - 1950 meters) an old Walser altitude village
Day 6: A transfer day to reach the Walser village of Alagna and visit its Walser Museum
Day 7: We have a beautiful hike through the Otro Valley, maybe the most beautiful Walser valley,
