Slabbers The Via del Mercato is a hiking route that connects Domodossola with Locarno through the Val Vigezzo and Centovalli along mule tracks used since ancient times to bring the products of the valleys to the market of the cities. The same mule tracks were travelled by the many emigrants of the valley and pilgrims who went up to the Sanctuary of Re, an important devotional centre of the valley dedicated to the Madonna del Sangue, a destination of pilgrimages from Domodossola, Locarno and the Verbano area.
