Zwargji is located in the Riale hamlet of Formazza, at the northern end of Val Formazza, one of the most remote and authentic valleys in Piedmont, on the border with Switzerland. The setting is that of a small alpine village, surrounded by nature and with direct access to the ski slopes, a rare feature for a property of this size.
The Toce Waterfall, one of the most striking in the Alps, is just 1.6 km away, while Punta d’Arbola, which rises above 3,235 metres, is about 3.5 km away. Lake Robiei, reachable with a longer hike, is 8 km away. For those arriving by car, Milan Malpensa Airport is the nearest reference point, about 134 km away. Nearby there are also a few places to eat, such as Rifugio Bimse, less than a kilometre away.
The area is known above all for skiing, thanks to the lifts reachable directly from the property, and for cycling along the valley’s trails. In summer, Val Formazza becomes a reference point for hiking, with trails leading to Rifugio Maria Luisa and towards the surrounding peaks, while in winter the snow and alpine scenery attract those seeking skiing and tranquillity away from more crowded resorts.
