San Bernolfo, a fraction of the municipality of Vinadio, rises at 1702 meters in the lateral valley of Bagni di Vinadio.


The whole village has a typical building technique of the alpine environments with Walser derivation, widespread in the Valleys Sesia, Anzasca and Lys. The houses of San Bernolfo are characterized by a masonry base on which rests a wooden structure, made with the “Blockbau” technique, where the barked logs fit together at the extremes, ensuring solidity and resistance to atmospheric agents. The real derivations of this architectural peculiarity are still unknown.
