November 14, 2023,Sacro monte di Varese dalla 1 cappella al forte di Orino

Fascinating journey between history and art, with breathtaking naturalistic views. Unfortunately, the natural events of recent years (fires and tornadoes) have disfigured the wooded areas, resulting in large mountainous areas of desolation...

A nice tour to do if you are a little trained, unfortunately my phone ran out of battery and I couldn't record everything, in reality you need to add at least 10km to the lap, so 24/25km.
With a day like this today we couldn't not go 😜

A relaxing walk with very little difference in altitude and a very comfortable route and a wonderful view, rating 8/10

Beautiful, strenuous tour - as counter climbs and the paths are partly overgrown with thorny undergrowth.
