Skijaško područje Oropa / Biella

Skiers can take time out from enjoying their sport at Oropa, and visit the ‘Sacro Monte' (Holy Mount). This Holy Mount is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site,and boasts a wealth of biodiversity as well as artistic and architectural beauty.

To reach Lake Mucrone at 1,900 metres, and the "Busancano" down hill ski slope, skiers need to take the cable car which depart from behind the Oropa New Basilica.

This lift system is the successor to Italy's first-ever cable car and it is the point of access to the wonderful hills and valleys which encircle the Holy Mount, a true winter paradise when it comes to ski-touring.
