Nestled in the heart of northern Piemonte, Sordevolo is a village surrounded by the lush greenery of the Biellese Prealps, where the landscape features gentle hills, dense forests, and expansive views of the plains. Its prime location allows for an authentic experience of the area, away from the more crowded tourist spots, yet rich in history, culture, and deep-rooted traditions.
The Serra morenica, the largest of its kind in Europe, dominates the skyline with its impressive hilly ridge shaped by glaciers, offering stunning vistas in every season. The trails that wind through the region are perfect for hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding, catering to both seasoned trekkers and those simply wishing to immerse themselves in nature. Notable destinations include the Sanctuary of Oropa, renowned for its Black Madonna and set in a breathtaking mountainous backdrop, and the Sanctuary of Graglia, which boasts wide and bright panoramic views. Nearby, one can also find the Sanctuary of San Giovanni d’Andorno, nestled in the tranquility of the Cervo Valley.
Sordevolo is nationally recognized for its historic Passion Play, an event that occurs every five years and involves the entire community in an emotionally powerful open-air performance. The memory of this tradition is preserved in the Museum of the Passion of Sordevolo, which narrates the history and cultural significance of the event. During winter, the village comes alive with the charming Angels' Market, while autumn is marked by fairs and festivals celebrating local products such as polenta, chestnuts, and beans, reflecting a simple and genuine culinary culture.
Sports enthusiasts will find an ideal environment here for outdoor activities year-round: trekking, mountain biking, climbing, and via ferrata, along with opportunities for sport fishing and seasonal mushroom and chestnut foraging. The proximity to Biella also allows for a blend of nature and culture, with visits to museums, historic buildings, and artisan workshops linked to the region’s textile tradition.
This area embodies a harmonious blend of unspoiled landscapes, spirituality, folk traditions, and authentic flavors, offering every visitor the chance to rediscover a slower pace of life and a direct connection to the true essence of Piemonte.
