The "Via dei Torchi e dei Mulini" (the Route of the Presses and the Mills) is an itinerary developing across the mountainside from Villadossola to Sacro Monte Calvario and going ahead up to Bognanco. It is a tour on foot going along ancient stone roads and giving the opportunity to read the rural landscape in the mountains. A blast from the past very near the towns to rediscover the pleasure to walk among nature and discover an ancient civilization from which we all descend.
