The Manina Pass, located at 1,796 meters above sea level, is the connection point between the Seriana Valley and the Scalve Valley.
The small church, built in 1948 and renovated in 1985, has a perfectly symmetrical shape and inside there are two altars, one facing the Scalve Valley and one facing the Seriana Valley. The chapel is a symbol and synonym not only of the living faith of these valleys, but also of their friendships that still last over time.
Near the pass, a compass rose has been placed, dedicated to the mountaineer Mario Merelli, which looks straight at the Giants of the Orobie and his Lizzola.

One of the most spectacular passes in the Seriana Valley from which it is possible to see many peaks, among the most famous certainly the Presolana, the Coca and the Redorta. The path to reach the pass that starts from Lizzola is physically demanding (with a slope often around and above 20%) but simple from a technical point of view without exposed passages.
Be careful in winter, if it has snowed the path could have hardened and frozen snow with a consequent risk of slipping (which combined with the slope can cause falls and accidents) it is therefore advisable to have a pair of crampons with you.
The chapel of the Manina is also beautiful, well maintained and internally decorated (although it is difficult to observe internally due to the dark windows.
Furthermore, a short distance away there is a table with wooden benches for taking a break
