The signposting
All routes of the Oropa Way have light signpost, that is, stickers attached to road posts, wooden posts and other supports, and paint signpost.
Walking Itineraries
The routes are signposted with a yellow arrow on a black background indicating the direction of Oropa, and a black arrow on a yellow background indicating the opposite direction.
A yellow band with the black logo of the Oropa Way is used as a confirmation signpost or as a support for sticky arrows.
A yellow arrow indicating the direction of Oropa is used as a paint signpost, a yellow line without an arrow as confirmation or to indicate the opposite direction.
WARNING
On the last stage, in the area of Sordevolo and near Oropa, you may find yellow paint arrows and yellow arrow stickers indicating the Gran Madre Trail, which does NOT coincide with the Oropa Way and sometimes indicates a different direction. If in doubt, consult the App.
Cycling Itineraries
The cycling itineraries are signposted with a yellow arrow on a blue background and the bicycle logo in the direction of Oropa, a blue arrow on a yellow background in the opposite direction, and a yellow band with the logo that is used as a confirmation signpost.
Our progress is slow but deliberate.
We are a social cooperative-tour operator, a network of individuals and associations in Italy and around the world. Our story began in the late 1990s, when a handful of people began to question the meaning of mass tourism. Traveling and getting to know projects related to fair trade gave birth to the idea of starting a social enterprise that would disrupt the paradigms of tourism and work in direct contact with the civil society of the places visited, with people and associations directly involved in development projects.
