Sacro Monte of Ghiffa

Highlight • Religious Site

Perched on one of the most evocative panoramas of Lake Maggiore, the smallest of the sacred mountains of Piedmont offers a breathtaking view of the Lombard pre-Alps. Among chestnut woods and an ancient archaeological path, there are the sanctuary, three chapels dedicated to the Incoronata, to San Giovanni Battista and to Abraham, and the eighteenth-century portico of the Via Crucis.

The unique atmosphere, the mild climate and the beauty of the lake make it an enchanting and fascinating destination.

Oggebbio Village on Lake Maggiore

Highlight • Settlement

Oggebbio is a picturesque village on Lake Maggiore, located along the Piedmont shore, which fascinates with its characteristic corners and panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. With its ancient alleys, stone houses and historic churches, including the Church of Sant'Agata and the Parish Church of San Pietro, Oggebbio retains an authentic atmosphere.

The village is an ideal starting point for nature excursions in the woods and mountain paths that wind towards the Val Grande and offer unforgettable views. Thanks to its mild climate, Oggebbio is also known for its lush vegetation and lush gardens, where camellias, azaleas and magnolias thrive.

Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo and Clock Tower, Gonte

Highlight • Religious Site

The tallest bell tower on the Piedmontese shore of Lake Maggiore

Nevertheless, it is immediately apparent that the parish church of San Pietro in Gonte is something very special. This special status is certainly not only due to the fact that the parish church of San Pietro is located in the main town of Gonte.

The appearance of the church is much more striking. With its 42-meter-high bell tower, the church of San Pietro boasts the tallest bell tower on the entire Piedmontese shore of Lake Maggiore.

The only thing that is unique is its construction.

The spire rises strikingly high into the sky, emphasizing the appearance of a church that is unique far and wide. Located on the shore road of Lake Maggiore, this parish church represents a religious site with particularly distinctive features.

Nevertheless, the risk of confusion cannot be ruled out. Even in towns like Luino and Carcegno, there are churches with the same name.

February 18, 2024,Via delle Genti da Intra a Cannero Riviera (VB)

First trip out of the region of the year to travel the first stage of the Via delle Genti. Departure from the Intra pier, even if registration began a little later due to GPS problems... What can I say? After a boring half hour on secondary but asphalted roads the scenery changed completely. Panoramas galore of Lake Maggiore, many small …
