Embraced by the Ossola Alps and picturesque villages with ancient vineyards, the Sacro Monte di Domodossola winds from the village of the same name to the hill of Mattarella. Here, Roman and Lombard finds – including a marble plaque from 539, reused in the walls of the medieval castle destroyed in 1415 – tell of a thousand-year-old past. A UNESCO heritage site along with the other nine sacred mountains of Piedmont and Lombardy, the complex was built in 1657 by order of the Capuchin friars Gioacchino da Cassano and Andrea da Rho.

At 2,103 meters above sea level, the Monscera Pass is a natural border between Switzerland and Italy that offers a breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps. From here the gaze sweeps over the famous "Simplon triptych" - Fletschhorn, Lagginhorn and Weissmies - with Monte Leone looming on the horizon. A unique vantage point to immerse yourself in the grandeur of these Swiss peaks.
