The Bisaone Cross stands out from afar and is certainly one of the largest Christian symbols on the mountains of the Aoita Valley. The cross, a total of 10 meters high and weighing about fourteen hundredweight, is located in the upper part of the municipality of Verrayes, more precisely at the top of the Cima Longhede at 2416 meters above sea level. The central location offers exceptional panoramic views over much of the valley and includes all the highest mountains from the Matterhorn to Monte Rosa, from the Panta Tersiva to the Emilius and from the Grivola to the Gran Paradiso, from the Rultor to the Mont Blanc and the Grand Combin.
