Tips

There are 2 routes to reach the top of Mondolè, so it is possible to make a loop. From the Balma refuge you can get there in about an hour and a half, depending on the pace. On the route taken by most people, the last stretch is short but steep to take your breath away, so face it calmly if you are not trained. Finally, I recommend that you download the track because it is not sufficiently marked.

The summit plateau of Monte MONDOLE is home to two small sacred monuments:

+ Firstly, a classic cross, such as those often found on mountain peaks. This one is simple in its design, without the body of the crucified Christ; the white frame clearly highlights the darkness of the longitudinal and transverse beams.

+ Secondly, hikers will find a figure of the Virgin Mary here; the statue of the Mother of God does not stand under the cross beam, as in a classic crucifixion group (on the other side you would then find the favorite disciple John), but rather to one side. Her gaze is also not directed towards the cross, but rather goes down from the mountain into the distance.
