On Saturday 12 July, we look forward to seeing you at the inauguration* of the Cammino di Ermenegildo, a new hiking trail through the extraordinary landscapes of Oasi Zegna in the Biella Alps. This Cammino is designed to celebrate the heritage of Ermenegildo Zegna, the visionary businessman who a century ago launched an extraordinary environmental and social improvement project in these mountains.

*Due to the high number of registrations and to ensure a smooth running of the day, registration for the excursion on Saturday 12 July is closed.You will still be welcome at the 9.30 a.m. ceremony at Casa Zegna! From Sunday 13 July, the walk can be walked independently: for all information, please consult the appropriate section.

PROGRAM FOR THE DAY

We meet up at 9:30 at Casa Zegna, the point of departure for the 1st LEG, with the inaugural ribbon cutting open to everyone.
It will then be possible to do the first leg of the Cammino, to Bocchetto Sessera, a 15 km hike with an elevation of 880 meters in around 5 hours. It’s an immersive trail designed for intermediate level hikers that will give you spectacular panoramas and places steeped in history.

At the end of this leg, there will also be a shuttle service to take registered participants back to Casa Zegna to pick up their cars.

Those wishing carry on with the experience can sleep at Bocchetto Sessera or nearby and on Sunday 13 July start doing the other two legs of the Cammino on their own.
