Alpe La Motta, Val Vigezzo
Piedmont
From the Vigezzo plateau a chairlift or a forest path climbs to the meadows of La Motta and Pian di Sole, looking down the length of the Val Vigezzo toward Switzerland and across to the Val Grande peaks. The valley's painting tradition means benches and easels appear at the best spots.
