Malesco lies along the Melezzo Orientale in Piedmont’s Val Vigezzo, where steep, wooded slopes rise above a broad Alpine valley near the Swiss border. The settlement belongs to the Ossola area, a network of valleys north of Lake Maggiore whose routes have long linked Italy with Alpine passes. Stone houses and narrow lanes give the centre a distinctly mountain-built character, while the surrounding terrain meets Val Grande National Park, one of Italy’s largest wilderness areas. Malesco is also part of Val Vigezzo, widely known as the “Valley of Painters” for its artistic tradition. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Malesco and Val Vigezzo.
