Alto Sermenza

Alto Sermenza balances the remoteness of a high Alpine valley with the enduring presence of Walser culture, reflecting its position in Piedmont’s upper Sermenza Valley. This small municipality in the Province of Vercelli was created in 2018 through the union of Rima San Giuseppe and Rimasco. The Sermenza, a tributary of the Sesia, runs through the valley before joining the wider Valsesia river system. Rima San Giuseppe is associated with the Walser, German-speaking settlers whose building traditions and community identity remain central to the locality’s character. Alto Sermenza is a dispersed mountain community of stone and timber houses, narrow valley roads and steep slopes. Browse additional webcams from Valsesia to extend your view of northern Piedmont.
