The itinerary develops along ancient mule tracks, halfway up the hills facing the basin of Lake Maggiore, between the towns of Belgirate and Lesa. The trail crosses small towns, woods, terraced slopes and historic traces that testify the importance of these lands already in pre-Christian age.

The articulated and panoramic itinerary crosses the places that were the Lands of Lepontii, an ancient Celtic, or Ligurian, population, which settled across the western Alps around 1000 B.C. Their main city was named Oscela, today’s Domodossola. Around the small oratory of San Paolo some tombs were found, delimited by stone slabs and dating back to the age when the Romans inhabited these lands.
