Holiday apartment in Sella: Historic Paths and Experiences

Sella Between Chapel, Art and History

Sella can be discovered through specific places, paths and experiences. The Cappella di Nostra Signora della Guardia e San Rocco is located in Sella. It provides a cultural focal point for a stay that embraces historical connections alongside the landscape. The chapel gives Sella’s cultural identity a fixed location.

The Museo Giannettino Luxoro, the Galleria d'Arte Moderna, the Raccolte Frugone and the Palazzo Doria-Spinola are located in the area around Sella. This provides several specific destinations for culture-oriented days, broadening the focus beyond the chapel to its surroundings. At the same time, the cultural destinations range from the museum and gallery to the collections and the palazzo. When planning your day, the chapel in Sella and the destinations in the surrounding area can be considered as two different focal points.

Historic Paths and Pass Connections

A historic route reached the Case Sella shortly before the Chiesa della Scoffera. An old path connected the hamlets of Sella and Moránego in Davagna with the villages of Val Noci, passing by the Passo del Fuoco. A historic road section connected the village with the Passo della Scoffera at an elevation of 674 m. The Passo del Fuoco is part of the old route, while the Passo della Scoffera is connected by its own historic road section. The elevation of 674 m applies exclusively to the Passo della Scoffera. The old connections also give Sella a historical framework between the hamlets of Davagna, the villages of Val Noci and the two historic pass references.

Landscape and Cycling Route

Mount Lavagnola is located in the area around Sella. Alongside the historic paths and road sections, this adds a specific landscape feature. In addition, the ANELLO SCOFFERA - SUPER G cycling route runs through Sella between Villamezzana and Moranego. When cycling, the connection between Villamezzana, Sella and Moranego is therefore the focus. Lavagnola and the cycling route have different geographical references: the mountain is in the surrounding area, while the route runs through Sella. For a cycling excursion, the route between Villamezzana and Moranego can be planned in advance as a separate section running through Sella.

Natural Riding for Adults and Children

The Maneggio Equitazione Serenity riding stable offers Natural Riding lessons for adults and children. The lessons form a separate area of activity alongside art, historic paths, the landscape and cycling. The lessons are aimed at adults and children; the cycling route, by contrast, is characterized by its course between Villamezzana and Moranego.
