The Natural Park

The pure joy that only the mountains can provide

Imagine spending the whole day in this pristine mountain landscape

Pine forests, mountain streams, lakes, and mighty peaks that always leave you speechless

San Domenico’s location is its blessing, at the entrance to the Alpe Veglia and Devero Natural Park. A protected area, famous for its wide open meadows, fringed by pine forests, alpine lakes and plateaus.
These are unspoiled landscapes, a haven for nature lovers, such as you!

  • Discover the historic alpine passes of the Ossola region accessible only on foot
  • Explore long distance trails on a walking tour

 Wildlifespecies

In the Ossola natural parks, the early hours of the morning are the ideal time to spot a number of species of mammals, including marmots, chamois, and deer, as well as birds of prey, such as eagles, buzzards, kestrels, and sparrowhawks.

 ProtectedArea

The Park protects the Divedro and Devero valleys, all the way up to the summits of the Western Lepontine Alps, characterised by broad pastures surrounded by pine forests, rhododendrons, and bilberries, which merge into the high altitude plains.

 A carpetof flowers

Walking through this landscape, you can see catchflies, alpine chrysanthemum, glacier buttercups, alpine asters, black and white genepi, and many more. A wonder of nature, to admire and respect.

The area around San Domenico offers a host of places and experiences to choose from.
