CAMPELLO MONTI
Starting your trip from Omegna, you will get to the end of the wild Valstrona (the Strona valley) where you will find this unexpectedly elegant village.
Campello Monti is an interesting village for various reasons: historically, because of its Walser origins; for its natural setting, at the border between high Valsesia and high Valstrona natural parks; for its geological relevance, because it is located exactly on the insubric line.
More importantly, if you want to fully take advantage of all the remarkable characteristics of this place, you can go in for sport a lot, making enchanting excursions to the neighboring mountaintops, suitable for everyone, from a skyrunner to a more contemplative mind, for groups and for families.
Campello Monti is also a classical stage for the numerous hikers who take part to the GTA (Grande Traversata delle Alpi - Great Alps Crossing).
The inn "The peak of Capezzone" is open during summer. Its restaurant offers typical local cuisine, pizza and delicious home-made cakes. Also, you can buy tasty cheese and fresh eggs from the local farmers.
A special remark about winter, when the road is closed to car transit for the last 4 km of the road to the village, and it is the time when this area becomes a paradise for ski-tourism lovers and snowshoe hikers, in a wild and unique environment: defining it mystical would not be an exaggeration. Therefore, also in winter, the house will be ready to welcome you.
Campello represents the exact opposite of a fashionable, loud, showy holiday. Here you will be able to renew yourself, both body and mind, by doing or ... not doing, it is just the same: the pace, here, is up to you.
Sensitive souls will be able to fall in love with this place and cherish, deep in their heart, its simple beauty.
But, you should need a touch of "civilization", don't worry, because you are just 30 minutes away from Omegna (cinema, lido, stores, shopping centers, hospital); 40 minutes from Orta San Giulio (Sacro Monte - Sacred Mountain, UNESCO World Heritage); 45 minutes from Lake Maggiore (Stresa, Borromeo islands, zipline, adventure park); 1. 30 hour from Milan, 1 hour from Malpensa airport.
