Sanctuary of Crea/view of Forneglio (AL)

Highlight • Viewpoint

A few steps from the basilica you enter the woods and a passage through the trees allows you to see the village of Forneglio which is on the Provincial Road 19 which leads up to the Sanctuary. Forneglio is a fraction of Serralunga di Crea.

Sanctuary of Crea/view of Serralunga (AL)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The capital municipality. A small village perched on the top of the hill and developed in length. Very renowned for its restaurants and good wine. Behind Serralunga the Po Valley slowly opens up with the first rice fields and in fact you pass from the Province of Alessandria to that of Vercelli.

Crea Sanctuary – access route to the devotional path

Highlight • Religious Site

The devotional path has multiple starting points. This is the one closest to the basilica and the refreshment points. On this date, September 2023, both streets are blocked and inaccessible for clear reasons but I assume unsafe trees following a strong storm.

Sanctuary of Crea: Chapel of Paradise

Highlight • Religious Site

Circular in plan and surrounded by a portico that allows a 360° view of the surrounding panorama, it is the terminal point of the devotional route. Always nice to get here!

Sanctuary of the Madonna di Crea

Highlight • Religious Site

On the top of a hill immersed in a splendid landscape of vineyards, stands the Sacro Monte di Crea, founded in 1589. Inspired by the Sacro Monte di Varallo, it was born as a pilgrimage destination and today it is an enchanting place, perfect for walking among the greenery of the protected nature reserve.

Along the route you will encounter 23 chapels and 5 hermitages, among which the evocative chapel of Paradise, dedicated to the Coronation of Mary, stands out. From here, your gaze is lost in a breathtaking panorama that embraces the Alpine chain and the surrounding rolling hills.

September 3, 2023,mini passeggiata al Santuario di Crea 🌳⛪🌳

As the title of the track states, it was indeed a mini walk since the salient parts of the park, i.e. the devotional path that leads to the Chapel of Paradise, were prohibited from access perhaps due to fallen or unsafe trees following a recent storm.
A big disappointment.
I limited myself to a ride on the "external" ring that …
