Crodo

The cluster is in the upper Ossola, with the Lepontine Alps around it and steep valley sides above the Toce basin. The Toce river system runs through this part of the valley, and Crodo sits at the entrance to the Val Formazza side valleys. The Alpe Devero area and the Alpe Veglia e Alpe Devero Natural Park are within about 15 km, giving access to high alpine pasture basins, larch woods and glacial terrain. Domodossola is the nearest town of size, with rail services, shops and the main services for the Ossola valleys. This part of Ossola is known for mountain pastures, stone villages, mineral water springs and access to the Formazza high valleys.
