The #historic little town of Santa Maria #Maggiore, #Italy near the border with #switzerland is located in the #Vigezzo #Valley in the #piedmont region. The surrounding area is sometimes called the “Valley of the painters.” A range of leisure activities, from the #energetic to the #relaxing such as #Nordic #skiing in winter and #hiking are available in the warmer months. We love it for its #colorful #charm and #unique mix of #cultures . #village #town #rustic #travel #igtravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #picoftheday #travelingram #travelgram #dametraveler #bike #travelbelles
