Sacred Mount Unesco heritage

from the top of Mount Calvario magnificent view of Domodossola and the valley floor

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.

very nice, small Italian village

"Lord Jesus, eternal Word of the Father, you have become silence for us. And in the silence that leads us to your tomb, there is one more word that we want to say to you when we think back to the Way of the Cross that we walked with you: Thank you! Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the gentleness that overthrows arrogance. Thank you for the courage with which you took up the cross. Thank you for the peace that flows from your wounds. Thank you for giving your holy Mother to us as our mother too. Thank you for the love you showed in the face of betrayal. Thank you for turning tears into smiles. Thank you for loving everyone without excluding anyone. Thank you for the hope you pour in in the hour of trial. Thank you for the mercy that heals misery. Thank you for laying aside everything to enrich us. Thank you for transforming the cross into a tree of life. Thank you for the forgiveness you offered to your murderers. Thank you for conquering death. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the light you have ignited in our nights, for reconciling every separation and thus making us all brothers and sisters, children of the same Father in heaven." (Prayer for the Way of the Cross with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, Good Friday 2023)

In late autumn there is often maintenance work along the cycle path and therefore some sections are closed off

A beautiful dirt cycle path that allows you to stay away from the busy roads that lead to the city. The surface is beaten gravel, you can also do it with touring bikes.

A fraction of Domodossla and the Bognanco valley floor. I recommend a visit through its streets, the town is inhabited but the houses are those of the past.
