Centro Walser
who we are house valley offering how to book
 

Habitat: Centro Walser is located in Alta Val Sesia in the western Alps next to the Mount Rosa. A few kilometers before Alagna, at the bottom of this beautiful valley, you will find Riva Valdobbia;
to this commune belongs the tiny group of seven Walser houses at Peccia, at 1520 meters altitude.
Valle Vogna is a fairy tale valley with pastures, vegetable gardens, cherry trees, little alpine lakes and woods with rhododendrons, blueberries and raspberries. The stream below Peccia is well known among anglers.
The house is situated right on the GTA (Great Alpine Tour) path and there are many opportunities for hiking at different levels.
A place far from pollution, noise and chaos, a place where you can take your time, a break from your daily life, to relax and enjoy the world of nature and special cooking.

History: apparently even the Walser population was not free from anxiety and at the beginning of the 10th
century, without any specific reason, they moved from the North. The Walser were German speaking shepherds, who with a spirit of adventure migrated through Switzerland to different valleys in the western Alps where they settled down in different colonies building large wooden houses extremely beautiful and well organised with lodgement, stables, workroom and hayloft under the same roof.
