The activities that Mirtillo Rosso organizes for the adults are based on the wishes and the needs of our guests, always keeping in mind that first of all, we have to make sure that children have their own activities set.
So we try to gather people who share the same hobbies and schedule the activities! What can be done? Here are the activities that we have already done with our guests!
It’s an incredible experience to be lived with a mountain guide. The right equipment, the control of your efforts, the right technique: which is your goal to challenge yourself and have fun at the same time! Add to your family holiday a one day experience.
Chose the itinerary with our experts on the basis of length, drop and difficulty. The mounts Tagliaferro, Corno Bianco or the 4000 mt peaks of the Monte Rosa are waiting for you.
Did you know that the Sesia river is one of the best places in Europe where to practice river sports? Here is why from May until September our River Sports Centers are full of both experts and beginners who want to experience a solo or a group ride. Where to start from? It’s the question that most of our guests ask us. Apart from the, that requires specific skills, all other disciplines are suitable even for beginners. You have to choose whether you wish to be guided on a raft with a group of people, lead your own hydrospeed board or being strapped in to experience the canyoning. If you are still reading, then we know that even a few raindrops won’t stop you!
The Club Alpino (CAI) di Varallo is one of the first alpine clubs of Italy. And this is not a coincidence! Monte Rosa is the second highest peak in Europe and it’s the mountain that you see from the Po valley! Just like the first explorers of this land, you’ll get surprised by the mountain pastures with the Walser-style houses, the streams and the alpine lakes.
We organize for our guests excursions that strengthen the muscle tone and improve the physical well-being.
This is our manager Stefano’s hobby so … at least 3 times a week we go out for running with him! We start with a 6 km long loop, running slowly on the slight slope between Alagna and Riva Valdobbia.
Then, we can run a second loop at our own speed! But please, our manager is getting old so please take them back to the hotel!
The cycling trail that runs along the Valsesia, it’s become easier after the invention of the e-bikes! Descents have never been a problem but now even riding up can be fun! Everyone chooses their own effort when pedaling.
If a member of the group wants to challenge himself, he can join the other with a Mountain Bike. At the Base Camp store in Alagna, they rent brand new bikes and e-bikes!
There must be two ingredients: courage and good weather! Then we take the lift up to Pianalunga (2000 mt) and we fly over Alagna and Riva Valdobbia for 20 minutes.
Michele Enzio, the guide you’ll share the experience with, will follow the ascensional currents and the wind.He says it’s fantastic!
On 6th September 2019 take your family to the Mirtillo Rosso Family Hotel to cheer you for your ascent to the Capanna Margherita! As every year, Friday afternoon we leave the hotel, take the cable car at 3 pm and, with the mountain guide, we hike up to the Gnifetti Hut (3300 mt) to sleep until 4 am.
The alarm sounds and here we go! Within 10 am we’ll be at the Capanna Margherita at 4554 mt and you’ll have conquered the highest hut in Europe! We’ll be back at Mirtillo Rosso just in time for a cocktail during our Saturday happy hour!
