Welcome on my personal geological web page

Val Strona

During work on my thesis, I spent some splendid months in Val Strona di Omegna. Besides being famous for its geology (Ivrea-Zone), this region and adjacent areas near Lago Maggiore, Italy, are also a very good place for excessive alpine hiking.

Campello Monti is a beautiful but deserted town on the top of the Val Strona. Small nickel mines brought some wealth and prosperity during the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century.
