Grande Traversata della Valsesia (GTV): Stage 1 Bocchetta della Boscarola - Alp Toso

The first part of the route of this stage retraces a portion of the crossing of the Alta Valsessera ring (with relative connection to the GTB - Gran Traversata del Biellese) crossing the crest of the watershed chain located between Valsesia and the Biellese in the stretch between the Bocchetta della Boscarola and the Bocchetta dei Fornei. The stretch is very panoramic both on the Po Valley and on Monte Rosa (and the other most important peaks of Valsesia) and allows the easy ascent of some peaks: the Cima d'Ometto (1911 m.), the Testone Tre Alpi ( 2081 m.) and Punta Scalaccia (2034 m.). Halfway through the route you can make a detour to reach the Meggiana Refuge, a possible intermediate stop. From here the route descends into one of Rassa's valleys: Val Sorba. First crossing Alpe Sorbella (1600 m) you descend to the Ponte di Prabella (1180 m) and then go up the Sorba valley to Alpe Toso (1649 m) where the homonymous support point of the Cai Varallo is located .
