Wonderfully placed 360 m. above the sea level, Sacro Monte della SS. Trinità di Ghiffa dominates the Lake Maggiore from the pendici of the mountain Cargiago. It is a baroque complex similar to Sacri Monti of Orta and Varese, yet unfinished, surrounded by almost 200 hectares of wildlife reserve with several paths of stone-walls and little typical chapels.
