    Hiking

    The Scala Santa di Somasca is located halfway up the Viale delle Cappelle del Sacro Monte, inside the Sanctuary of San Girolamo Emiliani in Somasca, a hamlet of Vercurago in the province of Lecco. It is a staircase carved into the rock consisting of 101 steps that leads to the saint's hermitage.
