Subjects : The Parkland High Sesia Valley was established in 1979 involving the heads of the Val Grande Valley Sermenza, Val and Val d'Egua Mastallone. It is the highest protected area in Europe and some of its locations are locations of the Eco Sesia Valley. "The fauna of the park is varied and well represented: marmots, ermines, foxes, martens, weasels, hares, squirrels, small rodents and insectivores. Important is the presence of the ibex, which was introduced in Sesia Valley in the mid-70s, which now permanently colonizes areas of the park Alagna and Rima, and is now expanding in the valley of Carcoforo and chamois, spread a little 'everywhere in the Park, with the largest concentrations of animals in Rima and Carcoforo. Noteworthy is the presence of deer, easy to meet in the clearings near the woods at dawn and dusk. Particularly interesting is the bird life is dominated by the presence of the golden eagle and many other species of diurnal and nocturnal raptors as well, given the characteristics of Alpine Park, grouse, ptarmigan and rock partridge.

How to get there : Once in Varallo Sesia to Alagna got to take Balmuccia to follow Carcoforo or Rima San Giuseppe. These are the two places where it is easier to advance in the park. Alagna is more difficult because the Wold cars can not pass through to get to the start of the sentiereo.
