The Oropa Way in the Corriere della Sera
The Corriere della Sera article describes the Sanctuary of Oropa, the most important Marian shrine in the Alps, which attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims and hosts dozens of processions each year. It describes the natural setting of the Alps surrounding the shrine and mentions various pilgrimage routes leading to Oropa, such as the Cammino della Serra, the Cammino Valdostano, the Cammino Canavesano, and the Cammino Orientale.
The article also refers to the shrine's charm and history, emphasizing its long tradition of welcoming wayfarers and pilgrims.
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.
