Val Porta Forest Reserve: Vogorno-Capanna Borgna-Vogorno

The Val Porta is nestled between the two peaks of Pizzo Vogorno (2442 m a.s.l.) and Cima di Sassello (1899 m a.s.l.). The forest reserve (641 ha) was founded in 2016 by the Vogorno community to preserve and promote the development of spontaneous fauna and flora and the conservation of genetic heritage (larch, silver fir, and beech). The best way to discover this fascinating world is a two-day route with an overnight stay at Capanna Borgna. The route starts at Vogorno and follows the white-red-white mountain trail, except for the alpine path along the Sassello wall, marked in white-blue-white. There are 25 features to admire during the hike, many of which are traces of human activity. A morphologically challenging terrain that has been used by our ancestors with great ingenuity. The steep left side of the valley is hard to access, while the sunny pastures are on the right. Get to know the Val Porta and let yourself be inspired by the diversity of its flora and fauna.
