This beautiful panoramic point with 3 metal crosses is located in the west of Bardonecchia. There is a wide dirt road that connects it to Bardonecchia, so you can also travel by mountain bike, or there are shortcut paths that cut the hairpin bends of the road. Going further there are forts in a state of neglect and continuing further you can reach Punta 4 Sorelle (with the last stretch at EE level as there are fixed ropes to overcome an exposed stretch)

Not only one cross greets the (mountain) hiker here, but a group of three crosses - as the name "Poggio TRE CROCI" suggests - we find on this mountain. A wayside cross or summit cross commemorates Jesus Christ, namely the middle one. The other two are not here without reason: According to biblical tradition, Jesus Christ was not condemned to death by crucifixion alone, but together with two criminals and executed (see for example the evangelist Luke 22:33):
+ "They came to the place called the Place of the Skull, and there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left." +

Wonderful, one of the most beautiful routes I've ever seen. The gradient is well distributed throughout the route and isn't too tiring.
The view from the three crosses is breathtaking.
