Vercellese
Depending on the season and the area, Vercelli is a province where the colours can be more or less intense. Its boundaries stretch from the snow-capped peaks of Monte Rosa, down through the Sesia valley to the plain with its rice fields that are flooded in the spring, providing a watery landscape that never ceases to amaze. This is an area where nature, history and art are entwined: for example, the treasures of Vercelli, the Sacro Monte of Varallo -with its fifty chapels each depicting a part of Christ’s Passion and death-, and the typical Walser chalets built of wood and stone in the Sesia valley. Besides, Valsesia also means sport: canoeing in the waters of the river Sesia and skiing down the splendid slopes of Alagna.
