On sunny winter days like today, it's truly incredible! You have a view of the entire Lake Orta, and it feels as if the sky and the lake are one, and you're standing on this rocky outcrop bathed in blue!

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

Breathtaking view of Lake Orta, from up there you can see everything, Mottarone, Omegna, Orta San Giulio etc etc

nice place also great for pet picnic

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.

A loop from Pella to m. San Giulio, Egro and Croce, Grassona, Colma, descent to Ronco and lakeside to Pella, with photos, I posted it on maps, however I share all the positive comments posted here. Ennio Bertona

The climb is definitely worth it!
