Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 45.81845911567127, 8.256059093801088 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The monumental complex of the Sacro Monte is an integral part of the Special Nature Reserve, established in 1980 by the Piedmont Region, and stands at 608 meters, on a rocky hill overlooking Varallo and offers very suggestive views not only of the city but also of the entire Valsesia.

Recommended equipment : Mainly Wide-angle lenses (eg 16-35mm) but also some focal length a little more thrust type 50mm or 85mm if you want to capture some detail or make a close-up. If you go at night I recommend bringing you a Tripod

Best months : You can visit all year round but I recommend Sunrise, Sunset or a Night on working days so as to find few visitors, on the Weekend it is quite crowded.

Visits : The Sacro Monte is always open and can be reached on foot following a twenty-minute uphill path that starts from the center of Varallo and that ideally represents the ascent path to the Calvary of Jesus; by car from the road from the Frazione Crosa di Varallo or by funicular (Consult the Website for Hourly Prices and More Info). The Basilica respects the following times: from 9.00 to 12.20 – from 14.30 to 18.00 Guided Tours are available on the Site.

Notes : The Sacro Monte is a property of the Municipality of Varallo (Civil Administration of the Sacro Monte) and, since July 2003, has been recognized as an asset of world interest protected by UNESCO
