Reaching Meccia Alp is much more than visiting a mountain pasture.
To visit the Meccia Alp is to touch upon, to realize, what life was like for the ancient Walser settlers who first settled from the 13th century on these barren, sun-dren slopes face to face with the east face of Monterosa.
Strategic positions of course, but if we were to imagine nowadays bringing up livestock, raising a large family without “modernity,” we would soon understand the “heroism” and courage that these people, out of necessity, colonized for centuries entirely on their own before descending to the valley and mixing with other communities.
The route starts right from Macugnaga, from the “Dorf” or center.
It goes up a nice mule track to the Bill Alp where there is also the arrival of the first trunk of the cable car that in two sections starts from 1300m. of Macugnaga and reaches the Golden Madonnina at almost 3000m. Of the Moor’s Pass.
From here a loop tour between the Meccia Alp and the ancient Sonobierg pasture takes us back to the ancient trade route between Macugnaga and Canton Valais, and then back to Macugnaga.
Of course, during the entire tour the view of Monterosa and its Margherita Hut built right on its summit will be omnipresent!

Hi, it's Andrea!
I have been frequenting the alpine environment for many years now, and I have always enjoyed playing in that terrain while sticking to the rules of nature.
Until a few years ago, I approached my climbs by adapting to the changing seasons: in winter and early spring I favored ski mountaineering and climbing icefalls; in fall and summer I completed my trips on normal routes or climbing the more vertical slopes.
What most stimulates me to this frequentation is not the desire to exceed my limits, nor the challenge with the mountains, but the simple need to immerse myself in an unspoiled environment that takes me back, in some way, to the origins of the human-nature relationship.
Following the Veneto Region's training process to become a Medium Mountain Guide has allowed me to broaden my knowledge of the mountain environment, delving into geological, botanical, wildlife and cultural aspects, and to be able to make my experience available to all those who want to face the mountains safely and confidently.
Now that I am a mountain professional, I lead groups of people on hikes, treks, e-bike tours in the Pre-Alps and Dolomites and accompany to discover the beautiful canyons in hidden corners of our area on river trekking outings.
