how to reach alpe di mera

The Alpe di Mera, a nearby mountain located in Alta Valsesia, in the province of Vercelli, is easily accessible in less than two hours by car from the large centers of Northern Italy: 140 km from Milan, 150 km from Turin and 220 km from Genoa .

During the winter, you can reach Alpe di Mera via two main accesses. The first is the panoramic Scopello-Mera two-seater chairlift, which in about 20 minutes takes both skiers and pedestrians eager to enjoy a day on the snow to the heights.

The second access is exclusive for skiers: park your car in the Trogo Alto and Trogo Basso car parks located at the end of the asphalt road that starts from Scopello up to Alpe Trogo. Once you have parked the car, with skis strictly on your feet, you will ski to the start of the Capricorno chairlift which will take you to Mera in about ten minutes.

Important: Alpe di Mera is not accessible by car. Everything in Mera can be reached "on skis" or via snow-covered pedestrian paths, offering a unique and peaceful experience for those seeking relaxation and natural winter beauty.
