The path to the Sanctuary of Oropa is a journey through nature, history, and spirituality: trails pass through ancient forests, hills, and charming villages, all the way up to the majestic Biella mountains. The itineraries, at times challenging, test your pace and endurance, but reward you with breathtaking views and the unique thrill of reaching one of Piedmont's most fascinating sacred sites.

The sanctuary of Oropa is a Marian sanctuary - dedicated to the Black Madonna - located a dozen kilometers north of the city of Biella, in the Oropa hamlet, at about 1,280 meters above sea level, in a natural amphitheater of mountains that surround the city below and are part of the Biella Alps. The sanctuary includes, in addition to a Sacred Mount (the Sacred Mount of Oropa), the original church built on the basis of an ancient shrine and the current sanctuary itself, equipped with various structures intended to accommodate the faithful and tourists. And it is also the Arrival of the Stage of the Giro d'Italia. The most famous one was in 1999 with the comeback of Marco Pantani who went on to win the Stage (Arrival dedicated to Him).

Candelo, the highlight of our Piedmont trip. Small town from the 14th century with small shops and very good restaurants. An absolute must.

Oropa, definitely worth a visit. Not only is it fascinating in terms of history, but also because of the surrounding restaurants. And last but not least, the Black Madonna.

The ricetto is a medieval structure typical of Piedmont; a medieval grouping of houses surrounded by walls in which the inhabitants of the countryside took refuge in case of danger. The ricetto of Magnano is less well known than that of Candelo, but it is preserved very well. This complex, together with the church of S. Giovanni, is a small pearl set in the hills of Biella.

The Church of San Secondo in Magnano is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture, built in the 11th century by Benedictine monks. It is located in a solitary clearing, where the town of Magnano once stood and was restored in 1968, eliminating the baroque additions made over the centuries.
