"The Strà Granda (“great road” in dialect) of Valle Anzasca links Piedimulera to Macugnaga and reaches Saas Almagel in Switzerland, was built around 1500 and is 48.5 Km long.
Before the coming of cars, this ancient mule track was the main passage for the people of the valley, who went to the markets of Ossola. It was used to carry the materials mined from the quarries and as a connection between Ossola and Switzerland through the Monte Moro pass.
This itinerary goes along the tract of Strà Granda from Pontegrande to Macugnaga, crossing many towns that grow on the right and left slopes of Anza river. Each of these towns has its history, its characteristic buildings and its peculiarities that we suggest you discover… by walking!
