The Sacro Monte di Varese is one of the nine sacri monti in the Italian regions of Lombardy and Piedmont which were inscribed on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 2003. It has an altitude of 807 metres above sea level. The route is quite steep but with a bit of good spirit is suitable both for adults and elderly. Once arrived at the top, there are several restaurants and bar. I do recommend a visit at this shrine.

Worth the visit. Allocate at least 2 to 3 hours if you are planning to walk up (instead of taking the funicular). It was fun to peek inside each chapel that's filled with artwork portraying scène from the bible, starting with the birth of Jesus in the manger. If you are starting from the top, it would be the artwork of the 12 apostles.

Rosary chapels, each has a different architecture and a mystery of Rosary scene. On top, there's a beautiful sanctuary.

Super nice place, reachable also for older people with a cable car, and then a nice walk down not too exhausting. The views are amazing and the monastery very unique. Lot of restaurants around. We had the pleasure of the live orchestra concert.

Winding mountain road from Varese, beautiful. Once at the top, park on the street (paid) and set yourself loose to explore this historical UNESCO city. Be generous with alloted time,you will need a few hours to go around. Lot of up and down hill walking, bring comfortable shoes.
