The Paths

In Viverone the path is not only a way to move: is the right pace to discover a territory that is told slowly, step by step.

Here pass some of the great itineraries of Northern Italy — the Via Francigena, the Path of Oropa and the Way of St. Charles Borromeo — which cross the morainic Serra, the medieval villages, the vineyards and overlook the lake, where the UNESCO-protected pile-dwelling site is located.

Alongside these long-distance routes, we have selected a number of local walks: rings, excursions and shorter stretches designed for those who have half a day, a weekend or simply want to put on boots and breathe.

Pilgrims, experienced hikers, families, cyclists and slow tourists: everyone here finds his step, his landscape and his story to take home.

The Path of Oropa

The Camino di Oropa is an itinerary that crosses Vercellese, Canavese and Biellese, leading pilgrims to the Sanctuary of Oropa, the largest Marian sanctuary in the Alps, a destination of deep spirituality immersed in a natural context of extraordinary beauty.
