Aborder and transit land, criss-crossed by historical “roads” of communication such as those of the Simplon and Saint Gothard passes, the province of Varese safeguards a considerable wealth of religious art: monasteries, abbeys, and sanctuaries, many of which are dedicated to the Virgin Mary, are still nowadays not only places of worship but places that for their intrinsic beauty, leave one speechless.

Several churches stand in particular locations: it is sufficient to think of the majestic complex of the “Via Sacra” of the Sacred Mountain of Varese, a religious landmark since the times of Saint Ambrogio (IV century a. C.), rampart against Nordic heresies. With the help of expert local guides, and by following the proposed itineraries, we invite you to discover these art jewels: their particular beauty will be long remembered.
To realize the itineraries the Province of Varese has sent a letter to invite all the travel agencies of the territory. The prices for each itinerary are representative and they are given by travel agencies that have answered the request. The Province doesn't answer about changing price.
