Following the road of Valsesia Alagna arrival in 1191 m, the temperature is very hard today, I leave the car in the courtyard next to the dirt road near the parking fee, are in the midst of the crowd of skiers who are about to reach the ski lifts, ski and those who those with the boards and I with my snowshoes and snowshoeing, I went toward the center of the country, moving between the old houses coming on where the main street, turning left at short notice with the arrival directions to the Valley Gardens. Continue right into the theater Alagnese Union, climb the ladder to the left of the theater, continue along the stone path and follow the instructions of trail # 3, the latest arrival in a few minutes Riale Superior (Oubre Grobe ) with a beautiful stone fountain, which is useful to return to clean up the snow shoes, after a short stretch of path through the paved road leads to the opposite side where he began Olterstiga, or the "Ascent of Otro" a steep staircase stone. At the fork omit the wide trail to turn right always forward di più nel fitto e silenzioso bosco, tornante dopo tornante ecco che gli alberi si diradano e improvvisamente mi appare la piana di Otro (In Olter) 1664 m, "...alpe de Ocro simul etiam cum ponte de Varade..." così viene citato questo magnifico alpeggio in un documento datato 10 giugno 1025, mi dirigo verso la chiesetta di Follu con la sua stupenda facciata decorata, vengo subito rapito dai ricordi che mi riportano indietro nel tempo, il mese era Luglio l'anno era il 2000, anche allora ero solo, la mia meta erano i Laghi Tailly remoti specchi d'acqua. La giornata anche allora non era splendida, quando arrivai al villaggio chiesi informazioni a un uomo che era appena uscito dalla sua baita, il suo sguardo era proud, hard, it was obvious that he was an inhabitant of highlands, a Walser, kindly showed me the way, I greeted him and follow in what turned out one of the most exciting solo excursions I've ever done ... I continue following some tracks in passing that first lead me to Dorf and then a short distance to 1726 m Scarpia, for those who want the day could end here, but if you want you can continue. Since the last hut on the right, follow the trail that leads first to eviedente Pianmisura Small 1782 m and then the church of Pianmisura Grande 1854 m, you just have to be careful when crossing the canyon where a stream flows between the two villages, which could be subject to landslides. Arriving at the church I stop to rest and sip a glass of hot tea warming in the warm rays of the sun veiled by clouds, for the return following the same route of going, stopping every now and then but in the villages where every time I find more in corners unknown to me, the houses of Walser Valley Gardens are among the best preserved of the Alps, certainly can not miss if you love mountains to visit these unique places and at the same time fascinating.
