A splendid view of Oropa, its sanctuary, the cable car that goes up to here, and the Biella area.

Too bad that the cable car is now inactive due to some inexplicable bureaucracy. The view, however, is stunning and part of the structure that was once a restaurant and hotel has been converted into a climber's paradise.
