Val d'Otro Cultural & Hiking Route

A captivating hiking route leading into the pristine Val d'Otro, a historically significant Walser valley directly accessible from Alagna. The trail (approximately 4.5 km, 600m elevation gain, 1.5-2 hours one-way) winds through forests and meadows, culminating in a cluster of remarkably preserved Walser hamlets (Follu, Dorf, Scarpia, Wittwiel, Z'Indra). These villages offer a living museum experience with original stone and larch wood houses, traditional fountains, and a small church. The route is of moderate difficulty and provides insights into the unique Walser culture and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Guided cultural tours are often available. Best enjoyed from late spring to early autumn.
