Valsesia River Festival

The 2025 Valsesia River Festival took place in Campertogno, in the upper Valsesia region (province of Vercelli), from Friday, May 23 to Sunday, May 25, opening on Friday at 6:00 PM and closing on Sunday around 4:00 PM. As is tradition, the headquarters was the Il Gatto e la Volpe campsite on the banks of the Sesia.

The highlight was Saturday, marked by a packed schedule: team practice in the morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM), late registration at noon, the Sesia Alpin Sprint Team Race in the early afternoon (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM), and the final race in the late afternoon (4:30 PM - 5:30 PM). In the evening, the spectacular Palm Throwbag Olympics (7:00 PM) took place, followed by the big party with an awards ceremony starting at 9:00 PM. Group runs on the streams of Valsesia were also a key feature.
