Stabile 355 m² in Via Baraggiolo 8, Balmuccia (VC)

Balmuccia sits at the confluence of the Sermenza and Sesia rivers in the upper Valsesia. The cluster is in a narrow alpine valley of the Pennine Alps; steep, wooded slopes and pasturelands rise on both sides within about 15 km. The Sesia River runs through the valley and the upper Sesia is known locally for whitewater kayaking and rafting. The valley above leads toward the Monte Rosa massif and higher alpine terrain; parts of the upper valley are within the Parco Naturale Alta Valsesia (protected high-mountain area). Nearest town of size is Borgosesia to the south, which provides shops, services and regional road links. Nearest downhill ski lifts are in the Monterosa Ski area (Alagna/Gressoney/Champoluc), reached by road up the valley and side valleys (roughly 40–70 minutes' drive depending on destination). Land use near the cluster is mixed woodland, meadows and small-scale agriculture.
