Perhaps in front of this small sacred monument, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a cross, a few short sentences from Pope Francis are of interest (address of April 5, 2024): "Feel called (...) to bring into the Church and into the world a little of that immense love that compelled Jesus to die on the cross for us. May the familiar closeness to Him make you, as it was with Francis [of Assisi], ever more humble, united, joyful and essential, in love for the cross and in attention to the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this time of ours, which has so much difficulty in recognizing the presence of the Lord." (Pope Francis)

A peak with a rocky character mixed with shrubs and low-stemmed trees. The path to reach it is easy, and you can enjoy a beautiful view of both the plain (pollution permitting) and the Orobie
