Tips

High up on a promontory above Pella stands the Croce di Egro, which can be reached from the village of Egro via a small but well-marked path. From here you have a truly spectacular view over Lake Orta. Since Egro is a bit out of the way and the path is a bit sporty, you usually have this wonderful place to yourself.
Shortly before the Croce you pass the viewpoint "Curva dal Sas Priauza", from where you have a great view of the Lago and Omegna - in clear weather with the Alps as an impressive backdrop.
Sturdy footwear and sure-footedness are on the way to becoming croce of health-promoting benefits.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These way [summit] crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as a place of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as a place for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")
