Once you arrive at the Mombarone refuge, it is worth climbing up to here. The view extends to 360 ° in particular on Monte Rosa. An imposing statue is 19 meters high, the original of which was destroyed by lightning in 1948, and rebuilt in 1991. In its base, closed by a glass window, there is the statue of the Black Madonna, symbol of these Biella Alps, and in particular of the sanctuary of Oropa.
