Val Vogna (''I' Vejin''〔Sergio Maria Gilardino, ''I Walser e la loro lingua - Dal grande Nord alle Alpi'', Alagna Valsesia, Zeisciu, 2008〕 in Walser) is a lateral valley of Valsesia, inside the municipality of Riva Valdobbia, Italy. West of Riva Valdobbia town, opens the Val Vogna, a side valley just in part served by paved road, on the old so-called ''Antica via d'Aosta'' “ancient Aosta Track”,〔http://www.digilands.it/caicslp/attidispense/attibard/2006Bard_Fantoni.pdf〕 that united Riva Valdobbia to Gressoney-Saint-Jean through the colle di Valdobbia, the Valdobbia Pass. == Geography == Val Vogna opens west of Riva Valdobbia as a tributary of the Sesia Valley, with Val d'Otro north and Valle Artogna south. The general direction of the valley is East to West, with a slight moonshaped round turn pointing southwest at the end. There is only one notable tributary to the Vogna torrent, the Rissuolo torrent from Corno Bianco peak: the Rissuolo torrent make a sharp cut in the middle of the north slope and reached the main valley just west of ''La Peccia'' Hamlet, passing under the so-called Napoleonic Bridge. Val Vogna was an emigration route, connecting Valsesia and Val d'Aosta through the ''colle Valdobbia'' pass (2480 m.). The ''Antica via d'Aosta'', latter renamed ''via Regia'' (Royal path), follows the Vogna Valley up to the Napoleonic Bridge: here, the track left the main valley and climbed on the west bulkhead of the Rissuolo torrent valley, up to ''La Montata'' Hamlet (m. 1739) and then inside up to ''Colle Valdobbia'' and its Ospizio Sottile mountain hut. On the pass, the ''rifugio Ospizio Sottile''〔http://www.ospiziosottile.com/〕 was built in the XIX century to give shelter to the people moving in and out the valley. The “Aosta Track” was a major emigration route for most of the Sesia Valley people going for seasonal works abroad, mostly in France. The Sesia Valley goes basically eastward from the Monte Rosa to Varallo and the plains, so it was much shorter to pass the mountains in this relative safe spot. As the migrations period were early in spring and late in the autumn, accidents due to bad weather and avalanches were frequent. A small provisonary hut was built, then the more substanzial Ospizio in stone was built and dedicated to the canonic Nicolao Sottile, a priest that worked hard to find the money and volunteers for the building. Today, the Ospizio Sottile is a common travelling point for hikers and mountaneers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Val Vogna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
