Description
A great opportunity to warm up: For a long time, the Via del Mercato, the market path, served as the only connection between Domodossola and Locarno. Used by merchants, lumberjacks, shepherds, emigrants, chimney sweeps. The route, today marked as hiking trail no. 631, traces the cultural heritage of the valley.
