Macugnaga Monterosa
Macugnaga sorge a circa 1.300 metri di quota, al termine della Valle Anzasca, davanti alla spettacolare parete Est del Monte Rosa. Alta circa 2.600 metri e solcata da canaloni e ghiacciai, è la più imponente parete delle Alpi e regala alla località un ambiente di dimensioni quasi himalayane. Il paese conserva inoltre una forte identità walser, riconoscibile nelle antiche abitazioni di legno e pietra delle frazioni di Staffa, Pecetto, Borca e del caratteristico nucleo del Dorf.
