On pilgrimage in the footsteps of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. Nestled in the foot of the Alps, and just a few miles from Pier Giorgio’s summer home, this sanctuary was held in great devotion by Blessed Pier Giorgio. Pier Giorgio lived the whole of his short life for the glory of God. This sanctuary physically mirrors Frassati’s desire to strive after the highest heights of holiness, as well as the condescension of God’s Merciful Love - His love which always meets us where we are, regardless of the height to which we ascend. A beautiful place for pilgrimage: for Mass, Sacraments, Silence, Hiking, and prayer.

???Sanctuary of Oropa UNESCO HERITAGE This is a Marian Sanctuary - dedicated to the Black Madonna - located just over a dozen north of the city of Biella, in the hamlet of Oropa, at about 1,200 meters above sea level, in a spectacular natural amphitheater of mountains that surround the underlying city and are part of the Biellese Alps. The Sanctuary complex includes, in addition to the Sacro Monte di Oropa (about twenty minutes on foot going up to the left of the Sanctuary, and the original church (Basilica Antica) built in 1600 on the basis of an ancient shrine and the actual Sanctuary itself, equipped with various structures intended for the hospitality of faithful and tourists. It is possible to admire the interiors of the Ancient Basilica, the Gothic statue of the Black Madonna, the walkways, the various displays of nativity scenes from all over the world (some located in the crypt), and the majestic new church, characterized by a large dome visible in large part of the Biella area. A gem at the beginning of the square in front of the entrance to the religious complex is the presence of a train carriage, as a reminder of the Biella-Oropa tramway, abolished in 1958 which for over 40 years transported pilgrims and faithful to the Sanctuary. . . . . . . .

Great place to visit. I strongly suggest to spend one night in the hotel. The dinner offered by the hotel is also very good and authentic. The staff of the hotel and restaurante are extremely nice and professional.
