Day 1

Arrive in Biella with your own vehicles for the first visit of the day: a former wool mill, now transformed into a cultural excellence: Cittadellarte | Pistoletto Foundation, internationally acclaimed .

     Born from the work of Master Michelangelo Pistoletto, the former Trombetta Wool Mill has been transformed into a cultural workshop, where art, territory and the art of making come together in the concept expressed in the famous symbol knows as “The Third Paradise”. Then lunch at the “Bistrot delle Arti”, located inside Cittadellarte.

     After lunch, transfer and check-in to Oropa, the largest Marian Sanctuary in the Alps at the foot of Mount Mucrone for an afternoon of relaxation, walks a hot chocolate or a real Italian coffee in its historical locals. You can then dine in one of the astonishing typical restaurants inside the Santuary, before a well-deserved rest.

Day 2

After breakfast, departure with destination Pollone, at the foot of the Biella hills, headquarters of the Piacenza Wool Mill, where it will be possible to shop in the company shop. You will also be able to learn about the founder's gift to his employees and to the Biella area: the Burcina Park, thanks to the hiking guide detailed directions.

     The Burcina Park, born from Felice Piacenza's passion for botany, includes varieties of plants and flowers from all over the world, that reach their maximum splendor in the month of May / June with the flowering of rhododendrons and became spectacular during the “foliage” in Autumn. 

     At the end of the visit, return to Oropa for lunch at the well known Croce Bianca Restaurant, followed by a very interesting visit to the Sanctuary, the ex-voto galleries, the Royal Savoy apartments, the Museum of Treasures and the nearby Botanical Garden.

Another magical evening will follow with dinner and rest in the silence of the Oropa basin.

Day 3

After breakfast, starting from the Sanctuary, guided by a hiking guide, we will take a pleasant walk to discover the “Tracciolino”, and its Trappist Monastero.

     The route winds inside the Conca di Oropa, along the panoramic road that overlooks the Po valley, with a view up to the Po, the Monferrato hills and beyond, to arrive at a place immersed in mountain nature, the “Trappa”, an ancient Trappist monastery. In this place a local association has recovered the old building transforming it into a magical place where you can have lunch with local products and cheeses that come from the mountain pastures above.

After lunch, return to Oropa and departure for the return trip.
