Easter in Santa Maria Maggiore: From the Tradition of Vigezzo Goat to the Beloved Egg Hunt “S…cova l’ova”
In the village, you can also visit three unmissable exhibitions, while up in the mountains, you can ski thanks to recent snowfalls.
Santa Maria Maggiore, a village proudly waving the TCI Orange Flag for the sixth consecutive triennium, offers visitors of all ages an Easter experience rooted in the most authentic and genuine traditions. The festivities include engaging events suitable for everyone, starting with two classic events of this time of year. From Palm Sunday to Easter Monday, enjoy the exhibition of the typical Vigezzo goat and the Easter egg hunt “S…cova l’ova.”
An Easter vacation is also a great opportunity to visit the historic center of Santa Maria Maggiore, a true gem to explore with its elegant themed decorations adorning every street and square. To witness the first scents and colors of spring, consider walking the paths now free of snow at lower altitudes, like the enchanting 15 km cycling and walking path that crosses the valley. However, “low” Easter also invites visitors to take advantage of the recent and abundant snowfalls that have renewed the winter landscape of Piana di Vigezzo, with ski lifts open and 20 km of slopes suitable for all.
