The Ossola Trail, a race included in the VCO Top Race circuit, starts and finishes in Mergozzo, a picturesque little town awarded the Touring Club Italiano Orange Flag, overlooking the picturesque lake named after it. It comprises two different trails: the Ossola Bech Trail, a 17 km race with a 1200 metre elevation gain and the Ossola Trail, the most arduous, 27 km long with an elevation gain of 1,900 metres and two steep ascents and descents with some technical stretches.
The pleasant spring temperatures and the view over Lake Mergozzo are features greatly appreciated by the hundreds of participants who choose to challenge themselves in this satisfying trail.
