Visit Domodossola
Domodossola is in north-eastern Piedmont, close to the border with Switzerland.
The highlight of the town is the medieval centre and the attractive arcaded houses to be found there, and merits an explore.
See also the Sanctuary of the Crucifix (Sacro Monte Calvario) and combined clocktower / belltower.
It is to the train station that most visitors head, and the exceptionally scenic train ride towards Locarno (Switzerland).
The train passes through a stunning valley, with numerous little stations en-route where you can leave the train and go exploring, and is unmissable if you are in this part of Piedmont.
If you dont have the time (or the funds) for the train be sure to explore some of the countryside in the Ossola Valley and the other valleys in the region of Domodossola, where alpine streams and waterfalls, a mountain backdrop, and pretty forests and fruit orchards combine to make a lovely setting.
