The Park Facilities

Information, didactics, and fruition: three words to sum up what the Park offers to its visitors. You will find specific information in the pages of this web site dedicated to Visitor Centers, Points of Interest, Itineraries, and Guides and Publications.

How to Get There

The Po Vercellese/Alessandrino River Park can be reached very easily since car and railway connections are organized very well. The ideal solution is train+bike, which allows visitors to transport the bike on the train up to the Park, and once they reach the Park, to visit it by using the most suitable "means of transport" to discover the many aspects of the river. Take highway A4 (Torino-Milano: exit Chivasso), A7 (Milano-Genova: exits Casei Gerola and Castelnuovo Scrivia), A21 (Torino-Piacenza: exit Alessandria) and A26 (Voltri-Sempione: exits Novi Ligure, Alessandria, Casale Monferrato). Take SS roads to get to the Area.
