Religious Tours for Groups
Stresa and Lake Maggiore are at the centre of a very important area for pilgrims and religious groups.
We are at the centre of the nine Sacri Monti (Sacred Mountains) including the "New Jerusalem" Sacro Monte di Varallo and the Sacro Monte di Oropa where the Black Virgin of Oropa is located. The Sacro Monti are devotional complexes consisting of richly decorated chapels created in the late 16th and 17th centuries and are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Opposite Stresa is the wonderfully located Santa Caterina del Sasso Hermitage. Clinging to the rocks above the water, parts of the church date back to the 14th century.
