About

A 107.4 km cultural walk from Santhià to Biella. Eight stages of rolling hills, ancient villages, and the scent of wild thyme. The Cammino di Oropa traces the footsteps of Saint Charles Borromeo, who shaped the region’s spiritual landscape. With 3,414 m of elevation gain, it’s approachable for beginners, yet every ascent is a gentle reminder of nature’s power. Key stops like La Mandria and the Bose Monastery enrich the experience. Best walked in spring or autumn, this route invites a week of reflection and connection to the land.
