Scopello is a municipality in the province of Vercelli, located 659 meters above sea level, at the center of the Valgrande area, bordering with the province of Biella. From here it is possible to enjoy a splendid view of Monte Rosa and it is ideally located to easily reach the ski resort of Monterosa Ski, with its 180 kilometers of slopes, and the nearby town of Varallo, known for the Monte Sacro. For centuries the town was linked to the steel industry and its extraction, whilst today it is dedicated not only to its agricultural vocation, but mainly to tourism, due to the presence of the important ski station of Alpe di Mera. Scopello offers the possibility to practice all sports, with its cross country track surrounded by nature, its skating rink, soccer fields, golf courses, tennis courts and trails for mountain biking. There are various hiking possibilities with various degrees of difficulty, including the walk to the Cima Ometto, situated at about 1900 meters, which is one of the most popular destinations, thanks to its privileged location with a fantastic view over the surrounding landscape. The local traditions feature several culinary specialties, such as: miacce, tome, polenta, caponeit, mushrooms, chestnuts and game.
