Your experience

  • Relive the exceptional history of the Vicoforte Sanctuary
  • See the largest elliptical dome in the world from panoramic viewpoints up to 60 meters high
  • Enjoy the charm of the past by tasting simple and refined dishes of authentic Piedmontese cuisine

Where no one has been before, that is the culmination of the climb that awaits you. An expert will tell you the history of the building and a mountain guide will help you with the climbing equipment to get you to the top: a splendid balcony in the middle of the elliptical dome, which will make you enjoy the largest single-theme fresco in the world up close.

A sanctuary of records and legends, where the miracle seems to have happened: a shot fired in the bush that once enveloped a pylon and the blood that comes out of the shoulder of Mary, depicted there. This magnificent sanctuary was born around that pylon, wanted so much by the Savoy family that they initially wanted to transform it into the chapel and burial place of the Royal family, before it actually became Superga.

A unique and exciting experience that will surely amaze you. And in order not to miss anything, history and culture will also accompany you during lunch, in the cloister of the nearby Cistercian monastery.
