The Vigezzo Valley is a unique valley among those of the Ossola. It is a corridor between the Ossola and the Ticino, has neither beginning nor end, and is a vast plateau 800 m above sea level covered with forests. The valley tells the legend of chimney sweeps and an artistic tradition of large brushes that has earned Vigezzo the nickname “Valley of Painters”.
The valley has 15 marked bicycle and pedestrian routes, some of which use bicycle paths and some of which use agricultural tracks or existing roads. The the main route is No. 1, the Druogno—Re “Pineta” route.
This bicycle route par excellence in the Vigezzo Valley has an almost continuous dedicated bicycle path, except for a short section on a low-traffic secondary road before the Santa Maria Maggiore sports field and in crossing the village of Malesco.
