Piedmont: Sacred mountain of Varallo

Sacro Monte di Varallo - Did you know that in Piedmont it is possible to visit one of the UNESCO sites? We are talking about the Monte Sacro di Vercelli, the perfect place for an outdoor trip but also for lovers of art and history. The Monte Sacro di Vercelli, also famous for having one of the steepest cable cars in Europe, can be reached on foot via a path designed specifically for travelers, during the walk you will encounter small characteristic chapels and even fountains to cool off and quench your thirst.

The route offers a view of extreme beauty, as you are surrounded by nature and you can catch a glimpse of the river that runs through the entire valley. And it is once you arrive that you are enchanted by the beauty of the basilica which was designed in 1614 but the construction works only ended in 1713, its carefully worked bronze portal immediately captures the attention, above which some are represented episodes from Sacred Scripture. Currently the basilica can also be visited inside. The trip to the Sacro Monte di Varallo therefore offers not only the leisure and relaxation that only nature can give, but also the opportunity to admire a splendid work.
