Nice page Rob. I often visit the valley east of the Formazza valley: Vallemaggia and I often wondered what would be on the ''other side''. It must be just as nice the Maggia valley when I read your page. I'll add it to my (forever growing) wishlist :-)

A whole lifetime isn't enough to visit all the valleys and areas in the Alps, but Val Formazza felt like a hidden gem. I don't have a proper wish list myself. I've got some ideas, some routes and mountains I think would be nice to climb someday, but if it never happens that's fine too. My decision to go to any particular place often depends on what's convenient or what a climbing partner wants to climb.
In this case, the reason I ended up in Val Formazza was that I would meet someone in Wallis by the end of June (you've already read about that trip). After checking out how to get there, I ended up flying to Milan a week and a half earlier. Domodossola happened to lie between Milan and Wallis, so I based myself there before going to Switzerland.
