Alta Via Walser Trekking Network

The Alta Via Walser is a multi-day trekking route that explores the historical Walser settlements and culture across the valleys surrounding Monte Rosa. Sections accessible from Alagna include paths leading to the remote hamlets of Pedemonte, Otro, or past the Valle d'Otro up to higher alpine passes. These trails vary from moderate (e.g., Alagna-Otro, 2-3 hours, low elevation gain) to challenging (e.g., multi-day treks over high passes like Colle del Turlo). They offer stunning views, encounters with traditional Walser architecture, and a deep immersion into local history and nature.
