    A young woman wanted to put a Madonna on a mountain. With a lot of energy and helpers, she made her dream come true.

      Mount Sisilla (1621 m) is an imposing rock pillar overlooking Campogrosso, marking the southern end of the Sengio Alto mountain range.

      The summit is reached via a challenging trail, with a final via ferrata. The short but exposed equipped section is officially unusable (as stated on the municipal sign), but you can make do by holding onto the rocks. However, it is reserved only for experienced hikers who are up to it, always exercising utmost caution! From the overhanging summit, the view is breathtaking, with the refuge and the Campogrosso pastures a hundred meters below your feet! The white statue of the Madonna was installed in 1962, transported by military helicopter.

      During World War I, Mount Sisilla was transformed into a fortified Italian stronghold to defend the Campogrosso Pass. An observatory equipped with searchlights stood on its summit; Below, a covered trench (now rebuilt) with a depot and barracks for the garrison; along the climb, you'll come across machine gun emplacements in caves; at its foot, trenches, emplacements, and cave shelters are still visible.

      The south face, just above the refuge, at 120 meters high, is a historic and still very popular climbing gym, with about thirty routes, all vertical or slightly overhanging.
