Directions
From Graniga, follow beautiful mule tracks down to San Lorenzo and then to Bognanco Fonti. At the end of the village, near a green-colored house, take the path towards Ca' Monsignore. The path first climbs halfway up the hill and then descends steeply to the stream, which you cross via a spectacular stone bridge and soon ascend to the oratory of Dagliano.
Next, the trail first goes slightly downhill, then uphill towards Alpe Foppiano. Passing the Oratorio di San Bernardo, the descent to Domodossola begins. Shortly before Domodossola, you reach the square of Sacro Monte Calvario, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Down the Via Crucis or the Way of the Cross, you descend to Domodossola and shortly reach the historic center and the train station.
