Frazione Pedemonte - 13021 Alagna Valsesia (Vc)


The Walser are a German-speaking population that have lived at the foot of Monte Rosa since the Middle Ages and today are solidly rooted in Alagna Valsesia. The whole village is like a living museum of the life and activity of the Walser: their wooden houses built on stone foundations and encircled by the characteristic verandas that, during the spring and summer months, are filled with flowers. One of these houses that has in fact been transformed into the Walsermuseum which contains typical furniture and household objects, work tools and so on, testimonials to the culture and traditions of this people.
