チェルヴァット周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" – which I highly recommend – is dedicated to short film segments on UNESCO World Heritage sites from all continents and eras. This includes the "Sacri Monti" in northern Italy (there are eight of these "Sacred Mountains" in Piedmont, and a ninth in Lombardy), which are presented to culture-loving viewers in a 15-minute segment. This can be accessed in the ARD Media Library at the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/heilige-berge-in-piemont-italien-folge-396/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS84ODgxMzc2

Gorgeous mountain village, the climb to get there is very easy, traffic is practically non-existent.

The sacred mountain presents itself as a fascinating garden-park and a majestic rural Via Crucis, which winds along the slope of a hill. At the same time, it resembles a fortified city, with mighty walls, a monumental entrance gate and two squares that evoke ancient Jerusalem. However, people do not live here, but paintings and statues. On this rocky spur above Varallo, at the end of the 15th century, the Franciscan friar Bernardino Caimi designed a small holy land: a series of rural buildings that reproduce the most significant places in the life of Christ, animated by sculpted and painted scenes, created starting in 1486.

Nice climb, definitely leave some room for the end. Halfway through the climb, there are still 675 vertical meters to go from the 1020! But it's really worth driving to the end point.

Top location to look forward to and enjoy. With a bit of luck, cows and goats will keep you company.

Carcoforo is located at the bottom of the valley and is a splendid and welcoming village.

Campello is a place to absolutely visit, immersed in the Strona Valley and not very popular for mass tourism. Gateway to beautiful wild excursions and Walser culture make everything magical.

Great food, simple but clean accommodation, very nice hostess
