Valle Ossola

July, 2024.

Valle Ossola is a quiet region in northern Piedmont, Italy, close to Switzerland. With my Leica M-A and five rolls of Kodak Gold 200 film, I set out to capture its natural beauty and calm atmosphere.

The area feels timeless, with stone villages, colorful flower-filled balconies and surrounding mountains. Each of its valleys has its own unique vibe, and the Kodak film brought out the warmth and charm on the photos.

For nature lovers, Valle Ossola is perfect, with over 2,000 km of hiking trails. From easy walks to more challenging hikes, the trails lead to crystal-clear lakes and stunning mountain views. The peaceful surroundings made it easy to enjoy the moment and capture the scenery with my Leica. Valle Ossola is a place to slow down and reconnect with nature.
