ガッジョモンターノの峠・トップ4

Tre Croce pass, on the road to the Moneta Cavallo refuge

view towards the Corno alle Scale ridge

Very panoramic pass located at the end of the short and pleasant climb that starts from Brasimone, of the much more demanding one that climbs from the Suviana dam and from those that climb both from Camugnano and from Le Mogne.

Passo Tre Croci is so called because of three curious wooden crosses on the top. The legend of this place dates back to the beginning of the eighteenth century. It seems that three women from Case Trogoni set out to go to Porretta Terme via the Castelluccio road. Even though it was June, when they arrived there they were surprised by a snowstorm. The three women froze to death and three crosses were erected in their memory. To ensure that a similar tragedy would never happen again, the first refuge for wayfarers was built, which will later become the Monte Cavallo refuge: the Pellegrino bivouac.

One of the best downhill track in the area. Long and technical, but huge satisfaction. Very hard if wet, especially latest segment, just above the river.

A picture cannot tell you how beautiful is the road that skirts Reno River just after Porretta Terme. A gentle climb that will leave you time and breath to admire the landscape of the valley.
