Summit.... Breathtaking view

Not just one cross greets the (mountain) hiker up here, but a group of three crosses – as the name "Monte TRE CROCI" suggests – we find on this mountain. A wayside cross or summit cross commemorates Jesus Christ, and always the one in the center. The two slightly smaller crosses standing to the sides were not erected here without reason: According to biblical tradition, Jesus Christ was not condemned to death by crucifixion and executed alone, but together with two criminals (see, for example, the Evangelist Luke 22:33): + "They came to the place called the Place of the Skull, and there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left." +

Of this mountain, after well over a hundred climbs, I know all the sides, it's a shame that some of the slopes inside the Val Sessera, e.g. the one for Rattarun and then Alpe Boscoso then climbing to Navagli and Alpe Campo and Cima ... are, for some stretches in the lower valley, a bit swallowed up by vegetation. The normal route from Ciota to the refuge is very popular, but for example the descent via Spelonca-Cascinetta still offers a nice ring that is more "wild" and very little frequented.

Monte Capio is a beautiful peak with a beautiful view of the valley and Monte Rosa. The itinerary is fairly long but without any particular difficulties.

Monte Capio is located at 2172 meters and from the top you can enjoy beautiful views over the plains and towards the Monte Rosa massif.

Monte Barone is a mountain in the Alps located in the Biella Alps which reaches a height of 2044 m. Mount Barone dominates the Sessera valley and the Strona di Postua valley. At its feet are the villages of Coggiola, Crevacuore, Pray, Postua, Guardabosone. from https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Barone

On the road that connects Mera and Meggiana it is possible if the weather permits it to have a good panoramic point on Monte Rosa

This water source deserves a highlight to provide the thirsty with water. In any case, we were happy with this water source. Those who want can also take a refreshing bath here.
