Our beautiful dome of San Gaudenzio - Climbing the dome at 100 meters.nice experience and especially the 2 Jude were very educated and professional in explaining the birth of our dome. The route was not very demanding only the last 25 meters from 75 to 100 but it is worth it and the view is magnificent . I would definitely do it again maybe towards evening to admire the sunset

Fantastic day at 100m high - A fantastic experience knowing very well the Mole Antonelliana I missed this .... always the great Alessandro Antonelli .Le guides are very prepared I arrived up to 100m high all with safety helmet imbragati.Complimenti to you who explain the story with so much audacity. June and July will do the night must be great at 9:00 p.m. Inquire about culture fills your soul

Recommended visit - Nice trip to recommend .. About 700 steps to do quietly.. With helmet and harness required.. So I recommend comfortable clothing and sneakers... Beautiful view on clear days... I think the harness is a bit exaggerated but too much safety is better than too little...

I recommend it - Experience really to do. We made the climb to the highest part on the spire
Super receptions, free object lockers and mobile phone case provided by them. Guides (Luke) very prepared and attentive to the group. The climb is feasible, even the piece with harness at the end is not physically difficult as much as
psychologically, being on the scale with railing that overlooks the dome below. But I who suffer a little altitude I did it without problems. 360 ° view from the spire over everything, shame about the unclear sky that covered the view of the mountains. If you want a coffee before you go up and You are there on Sunday morning only open bar is great bar in the nearby course...it also has gluten free and vegan packaged products😉

Try it! - We faced the ascent to the dome and spire on a particularly clear day, and this allowed us to appreciate a breathtaking 360-degree panorama: the Alpine arc with the Monte Rosa massif covered by the first snows, the skyscrapers of Milan, the city of Novara at our feet.
Very competent and communicative the young man who acted as our Guide, and who presented us in detail the phases of the project and construction. His colleague who closed the group gave us directions to climb safely; overall a fascinating and exciting experience.

Show at 100 meters high!!! - It was a very pleasant surprise, the dome is really beautiful, the climb is definitely important but the organization of the visit makes it easy to face without major problems. I will definitely recommend it.

450 steps, manageable with 3-4 stops along the way - rewarded with incredible views! - An incredible opportunity to learn about the history of the Novara and to take in some INCREDIBLE views! Highly recommending booking tickets online, in advance. The climb is accompanied by two guides - and don't worry - even though there are 450 small, winding, vertical steps --it is done in stages! There are about 3-4 "stops" on the way up to learn about the history of each of the successive domes, the architecture , the architect etc! Pack light - the only thing you are allowed to take up is your phone - which they will encase in a protective plastic covering to wear around your neck. There are lockers available at check in to store a purse or small backpack. And the views - just get better and better the higher you climb. Highly recommend.

A spire and its architecture! Really interesting and engaging!!! - Wonderful experience. Very interesting place, friendly and very competent guide. We had an experience in Vicoforte, for my taste this is better. The information and explanations were very helpful!!! The evaluation of Antonelli's work is truly complete! Absolutely recommendable!

Beautiful and suggestive initiative - Two hours for a beautiful historical, architectural and breathtaking view up to Monte Rosa and, if there is clear, up to the skyscrapers of Milan... this would be enough to summarize the experience... the guys are really good and engaging... you climb up there up to 100 meters to dominate Novara and the landscape... so many steps to do seems 600. The dome .. the mirage made reality by a crazy architect, a visionary ... highly recommended .. to do absolutely ... provided helmets and harness but nothing dangerous, perhaps it is more scene to give a touch of adventure to an ascent absolutely safe and easy ...
