The Monte Fenera massif is located at the beginning of the Valsesian Prealps; roughly its boundaries are to the east the towns of Soriso and Gargallo, Vergano and Maggiora, to the south Maggiora, Boca, Cavallirio, to the west Grignasco and the Sesia river, to the north Borgosesia, Valduggia, and the Cremosina road.
Inside this vast perimeter, there are huge expanses of wooded territory, sparsely inhabited, wild.
Only in the last fifty years have we witnessed a progressive abandonment by the population no longer dedicated to silvo-pastoral activities. The forest and heathland are now hiding, beyond the cultivated land, mills, and remains of extractive industries, also important historical and artistic testimonies such as the oratory of San Quirico and the buildings of some now abandoned hamlets.
