ムッツァーノの峠・トップ10

Hill separating the Cervo Valley from the Lys Valley. At the end of June 2025, high presence of mosquitoes.

It's just a high point on the dirt road. Not a single geese in sight.

From Oropa you go up, and then, through the tunnel, you can go down from the other side. However, it is done just after the end of winter, apart from the risk that the snow will prevent it from being done, but the roads remain dirty, so, before May, it is a bit risky to tackle it.

The Oca Pass is a pass on the Serra di Ivrea ridge, a glacial moraine that extends between the Canavese and Biella areas. The pass can be reached from various paths that cross woods, lakes and historical sites such as the Torre della Bastia and the Ciucarun.

Great hike up to the Colle della Barma - lovely views out over Mont Mars Nature Reserve

Colle della Colma is located at 1,622 meters above the sea level. From here you can see the peaks of the valleys of Oropa and Cervo. Below the Sanctuary of the Sacro Monte di Oropa is clearly recognizable.

historical route that connects the Oropa valley with the Cervo valley through the gallery of the same name, was commissioned by the Senator of the Kingdom of Italy Federico Rosazza (1813 - 1899). It dates back to the last decade of the 19th century. Today the main tourist attraction in the Biella area.

It is the most easily accessible hill on the Cresta, especially from the Valle d'Aosta side, and does not present any technical difficulties.
