The ascent to the foot of His Majesty Monte Rosa begins in Vogogna, the ancient capital of the Ossola Inferiore overlooked by the Visconti castle and where the Val Grande National Park Authority is headquartered.
Shortly after departing from the Vogogna Town Hall, one encounters an interesting historical relic: a rock and a stele complete with an eagle that testifies to the presence of a Roman tombstone from 196 AD and the memory of Geo Chavez, the first transfer of the Alps.
Next, there is a double-curve railway underpass with a left turn onto the Masone Bridge over the Toce River, dated 1810.
Highway underpass, traffic circle, second exit towards Piedimulera, another traffic circle, then straight ahead following the course of the Anza stream, which gives its name to the Anzasca Valley, until you reach the foot of the climb proper, reaching Macugnaga, the "Pearl of Monte Rosa".

In the attached: the complete description of the route, the map and GPX track.
