The idea of a parallel route to the busy main road is great. However, the trail isn’t suitable for travel bikes loaded for bikepacking. We had to push a lot, and it was often very exhausting. The region is beautiful, but you should think twice about whether you really want — and are able — to take on this route.

Done on gravel, in wet conditions... borderline! Quite technical and steep in places. We had to push and walk alongside the bike several times... I recommend a mountain bike instead, it seems more suitable to me.

The city of Roman origin lies on the Toce in the center of the Val Ossolane (Ossola Valley) on the route from the Simplon Pass to Lake Maggiore, in a valley widening into which various side valleys flow, on a large alluvial fan that the Bogna, the right tributary of the Toce, has created here. Today, Domodossola has 17,684 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2022). As the (formerly) largest Italian city whose name begins with "D", Domodossola is used in Italian spelling tables for this letter ("D come Domodossola"). Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domodossola In addition to the weekly market on Saturday, the Sacro Monte di Domodossola is particularly worth visiting. It is part of the Sacri Monti. The Sacri Monti in Piedmont and Lombardy have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Italy since 2003. Finally, you should enjoy the Italian flair in the town. In summer, be sure to eat an ice cream or stop off at a café or pizzeria, it's worth it.
