This sanctuary is immersed in greenery at 800 meters above sea level and is dedicated to the Madonna of Loreto. Of particular importance is the octagonal dome decorated in 1870 by Fabrizio Galliari. Its guesthouse welcomes hundreds of pilgrims on the Cammino di Oropa every year.

Andrate

Highlight • Settlement

Andrate is a small town in the province of Turin (just over 500 inhabitants). Located at the beginning of the Serra and on the watershed between Biella and Canavese (Ivrea), you can enjoy an excellent show on the Piedmontese plain. The Tracciolino starts from Andrate, a splendid high-altitude path that connects the town with Oropa. The first kilometers after Andrate are unpaved but very feasible with MTB / gravel, while after the hamlet of Sambuco it is all asphalted.

This first section of the "Tracciolino" goes from Andrate to the junction for Graglia. The first stretch of two / three kilometers is unpaved, accessible with gravel bicycles or mountain bikes. Be careful with racing bikes.
