Itineraries
Trails and Walks
The Park territory offers several possibilities to the visitors who want to carry out walks in the fascinating Oropa Valley: the mountain chain surrounding the area of the Sanctuary and the Sacred Mountain offers a charming and panoramic view over the plain and, from the opposite slope, enchanting views over the summits of Valle d'Aosta, whose access is facilitated by a cableway connecting the Sanctuary to Mt. Camino. The routes are heterogeneous and suitable for every need: from quiet and relaxing walks to vie ferrate, if you are looking for an adventure.
