Good bus connection from Varallo Sesia. To Varallo train connections from Arona, Domodossola, and Novara, and touring bus connections from Milan, Torino, and Vercelli. Nearest airport is Malpensa, continue by bus shuttle to Milan or Novara and change to the touring bus or local train to Varallo. Alternatively, take a taxi for the 35 kilometres via Oleggio and Momo to Fara Novarese, the nearest station on the local train from Novara to Varallo Sesia. A taxi from Malpensa to Rimella costs around 110 euro, from Novara to Rimella about 90 euro. We strongly recommend the taxi service of Mr. Tiziano Andreoli from Varallo Sesia, a native from Cravagliana in the Mastallone valley, with excellent practice of the roads and the whole area between Domodossola, Milan, Novara, Vercelli, Torino and Rimella, phone 0163 52842 or 339 7892335. He provides also a small bus for 4-9 passengers at the same cost of the taxi for 1-3 passengers
