M00 - Via del Mercato da Masera a Re (prima sezione)
The Via del Mercato follows an ancient road used from the Middle Ages to the 19th century by merchants, woodcutters, herders, and emigrants travelling between Domodossola and Locarno. Passing through villages like Crana, Druogno, and Trontano, the route threads through terraced hillsides once planted with vines — including the ancient Ossola grape variety *Prünent* — with the Vigezzina-Centovalli Railway tracing the same valley below.
