Scopello

Few communities in Piedmont have a history as closely tied to the working landscapes of the Sesia Valley as Scopello. Set beside the Sesia River in Valsesia, it occupies an Alpine corridor leading towards the Monte Rosa massif. The village is closely associated with Alpe di Mera, the mountain area above it, where winter skiing gives way to walking and mountain-biking routes in warmer months. Scopello also belongs to a valley shaped by Walser culture, most evident in the higher settlements towards Alagna Valsesia. Its compact centre and access to the upper valley make it a useful base for understanding this quieter side of Piedmont.
