Piode

Formed around a settlement on the Sesia River, Piode developed into a small comune in Piedmont’s Valsesia valley. The Sesia descends from the Monte Rosa massif, running here through a narrow Alpine corridor of wooded slopes, cultivated clearings and scattered hamlets. Piode lies on the route towards the upper valley and Alagna Valsesia, where the long-established Walser presence remains an important part of local culture. In Piode itself, the scale is distinctly rural, shaped by the river, stone-built homes and the valley road. It is a useful stop for understanding the transition from lower Valsesia to the higher mountain communities. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Valsesia and Piedmont.
