The gnocchi at Ristorante del Vecchio Borgo in Vogogna was easily the best pasta on our trip. Homemade with local cheese, mushrooms, and walnut sauce. - Jonathan D'Andries (jonathan)

Vegetarian french onion soup. The restaurant knew our B&B owner (Nicole), so they let us just take this bowl with us for the leftovers. - Jonathan D'Andries (jonathan)

Getting to Alpe Devero was an adventure: "Alpe Devero can be reached from the south along the motorway A26 Voltri-Gravellona Toce up to Gravellona. Then you continue following the new route of the Simplon road 36, passing Domodossola, up to the exit of Crodo. You leave the state road, proceding toward Baceno / Formazza Valley, and once arrived in the center of Baceno you take the communal road (7 km) that rises to Devero." - Jonathan D'Andries (jonathan)

The "downtown" of Devero, no cars allowed. - Jonathan D'Andries (jonathan)

Coming into the little village of Crampiolo. You can only get here by walking from the parking lot at Alpe Devero. - Jonathan D'Andries (jonathan)

Hanging laundry in Crampiolo. It's hard to find a dry and flat spot here, so you take what you can get. - Jonathan D'Andries (jonathan)
