Discover Bioglio: Holiday Apartment in Bioglio for Culture and Mountain Landscapes

Bioglio combines religious culture, traces of industrial history and mountain landscapes, creating a destination that appeals to different interests. In the Banchette hamlet of the municipality of Bioglio stands the Santuario di Banchette, a Marian sanctuary. It is located in the Quargnasca natural area (Parco della Rovella) at an altitude of 675 m and is an extra-diocesan sanctuary administered by the Barnabite Fathers from Genoa. When choosing your holiday apartment in Bioglio, you can therefore make religious culture and the natural surroundings a focus of your trip.

Rondolere and the History of Iron Processing

Another trail leads to Rondolere. The archaeometallurgical site can be reached on foot from Casa del Pescatore. In 1788, an ironworks was established in Rondolere to process magnetite from Pietra Bianca. The facilities at Rondolere, which have not been used or altered since the 18th century, are rare material evidence of a complete proto-industrial production cycle. Rondolere thus brings together raw materials, production and unaltered facilities within a clearly defined historical context. For holiday days focused on cultural history, this subject offers particular depth.

Valsessera and Mountains for Active Days

Nature and activity can also be enjoyed in Valsessera. The Rifugio Piana del Ponte mountain hut located there is an ideal stopover for excursions on foot, on horseback or by mountain bike. The mountain Monte Rovella is located in the immediate surroundings of Bioglio-Portula-Andrè. The mountain Monte Terlo, the mountain Rocca dell'Argimonia and the mountain Monte Rubello are located in the area around Bioglio-Portula-Andrè. When planning your trip, you can therefore distinguish between the hut in Valsessera, a mountain destination in the immediate surroundings and other mountains in the wider area.
