This is a natural riverbank on the Sesia near Varallo, used as a listed naturist bathing area rather than a managed site. Expect informal access over uneven gravel, pebbles and sand, with no formal entrance, fixed hours or admission fee reported. Daytime visits in the summer season are the normal pattern, mainly from June through to September. Midday and early afternoon offer warmer air and stronger sun, while the river water remains cool even in summer. The bank is mostly open to the sun, with only patchy riverside vegetation and very little reliable natural shade. Bring sun protection, a hat, drinking water, food, a mat or chair, and sturdy footwear for stones and shallow water entry. There are no toilets, showers, lifeguards, or food and drink facilities reported at the water. Supplies are normally brought from Varallo, and visitors should remove all waste they generate. Parking is not dedicated to the bathing area, so plan to use available parking around Varallo and walk to the river. Public transport also serves Varallo rather than the bank itself, followed by a walk to the riverbank. The Sesia here includes shallow and deeper sections. Water is generally clear, cool and current-prone, with levels and currents able to change quickly. Enter carefully, stay within comfortable depth, avoid strong flows, and supervise children closely at all times. The natural setting has no services or lifeguards, so short to half-day visits for swimming, sunbathing and resting are common. Dogs have no published policy, so close control would be needed in this shared natural area.
