About this episode

We’re hitting the Italian Alps and the small hamlet of Alagna Valsesia at the foot of the Monte Rosa massif. Though Monocle’s Lars Bevanger keeps returning here to ski, what’s equally tempting are the region’s delicious wine and cuisine. Here, he takes us on a tour of the Alpine town.
