sanctuary about ten km above Biella, reachable by road bike along the only road from Biella, from Andrate, a town above Ivrea with the road called "Tracciolino" from Favaro, just above Biella by mountain bike along the route of the old train

Small but nice ski area.

Summit.... Breathtaking view

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.

Main entrance to the Oasi Zegna, from which many paths start, including the "Bosco del Sorriso" path and others

Of this mountain, after well over a hundred climbs, I know all the sides, it's a shame that some of the slopes inside the Val Sessera, e.g. the one for Rattarun and then Alpe Boscoso then climbing to Navagli and Alpe Campo and Cima ... are, for some stretches in the lower valley, a bit swallowed up by vegetation. The normal route from Ciota to the refuge is very popular, but for example the descent via Spelonca-Cascinetta still offers a nice ring that is more "wild" and very little frequented.

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).
