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

My favorite route for both "training" climbs (when I was young) and, more frequently, to enjoy a climb all through the woods, therefore bearable even in July-August, with the arrival at the refuge that instead opens up to the eyes an unexpected panorama over a good stretch of the lower Valsesia. The climb to the summit, behind the refuge, then reveals, on clear days, M. Rosa and many other peaks. I tried two excursions, starting from the refuge. The first, continue to sella Vazzosa (short exposed sections, be very careful!) and then to Massale, then always on a trail on the crest to Castello del Gavala, there be very careful for short exposed sections and to find the right passage to descend from the summit to the path just below that will lead to Luotto and finally to Tovo or even just to sella Rosetta, and then go to the Gilodi-Ca'Mea refuge. Many km and altitude difference (1700 m approx.), to be organized in company and with two cars, one in Casavei and the other in Ca' Mea, with a lot of necessary training. An easier tour of approx. 1050 m of altitude difference, but which requires a good sense of direction, maps and GPS, is to go down the southern ridge in front of the Spanna refuge, always continue without going down the sides, paying attention to some rare paint on the trunks, until you come across a dirt road at an altitude of 1250, at the hairpin bend, not far from Alpe Passarina. From there the dirt road leads to Sella di Parone and finally to Casavei, altitude difference reduced to approx. 850 m. But at that storm the adventure becomes beautiful by leaving the dirt road and taking a path, always vs. south and remaining on the crest (wooded), which leads below partly maintained and partly ruined mountain pastures, first to Arcacce, from which you leave the crest to turn left and then find Tereggia, Pometto, Uccello alps, descending to the dirt road of Pra Personale that leads to Locarno, from there go back up to Casavei, and it is this climb to Casavei/Narpone that brings the difference in altitude to about 1050-1060 m Almost absolutely to be done with those who have already done this descent as it is easy to get lost. I did it and discovered it a first time with a few mistakes and retraced my steps to then find the right passages, all easy and always on wooded slopes, since then I have memorized it and once every year or two it gives me great satisfaction to do this ring again.

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.
