Alpine Peaks & Passes of Piedmont

This collection highlights the dramatic topography of Piedmont, from the 4,061-meter Gran Paradiso to historic trans-alpine passes like Col Agnel and Nivolet. It features several UNESCO World Heritage 'Sacri Monti,' including Varallo and Oropa, which serve as devotional complexes integrated into the mountain landscape.
