This route takes you through a changing landscape, starting from the village of Rimella and quickly leading into dense beech woods. You will follow well-trodden mule tracks that open up to flowering meadows, offering panoramic mountain views. The journey culminates at Alpe Baranca, where renovated huts provide a welcoming sight after an estimated 4 hours and 28 minutes of hiking.
Plan your adventure on this trail by starting in the charming village of Rimella, where you can usually find parking before your ascent. The route is clearly marked with red and white signs, guiding you reliably through the terrain. For the most enjoyable experience, consider hiking between June and September. During these months, the weather is typically favorable, and any snow from higher elevations will have melted, ensuring safer passage.
This trail offers a unique opportunity to explore the diverse landscapes within the Parco Naturale Alta Valsesia. As you ascend, you will encounter natural wonders like the Baranca Waterfall and the serene Lake Baranca. The path utilizes old mule tracks, some solidly built, reflecting the historical use of these mountain passages. Alpe Baranca itself serves as a crucial 'Posto Tappa', providing a destination with spectacular vistas.
