What a great place and now almost deserted. The detour to Sacro Monte is definitely worth it - great views and beautiful chapels with stations of Saint Francis of Assisi. The trip around the peninsula also always offers new perspectives.

The footpath along the east bank of the island is highly recommended. And of course a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Holy Mountain is also recommended.

Splendid walk that starts from the lakeside (you walk without protection a few centimetres from the water) to reach Orta San Giulio (suggestive glimpses of the Island of San Giulio) and then climb to the Sacro Monte in a circular tour that, without stops, can be done in an hour.

It has a beautiful walk all around directly on …

Here we explored the pretty town of Orta San Giulio and the Sacre Monte with its many chapels on a relaxed tour with little sun and moderate temperatures. It was not easy for me to choose from the many photos that …
