コスタセリーナの絶景の山頂・トップ20

元々、「マドンナ・デイ・チクリスティ」に捧げられた現在の聖域は、「マドンナ・デッラ・ネーヴェ」と呼ばれていました。 ジロ・デ・イタリアとジロ・ディ・ロンバルディア（その他多くの小規模なものに加えて）の一部のステージの古典的な上り坂ルートであるため、教会の隣に小さな自転車博物館も作られたことを考慮して、前世紀の終わりにそのように呼ばれるようになりました。 そこに、有名なペダルの専門家が彼らの記念品を寄贈しました。

Croce dei Morti is a landmark along trail 606, located in the Parco dei Colli di Bergamo. This trail connects several locations, including Torre Boldone and Colle di Ranica, offering splendid views of the Val Seriana and the Bergamo plain. The name "Croce dei Morti" may derive from historical events related to the area, but today it is mainly a point of passage for hikers and nature lovers. The trail is easy and accessible, with a length of about 2.9 km and a difference in altitude of 42 meters. If you want to explore the area, you can start from the trattoria in the Croce dei Morti area and follow the trail towards Colle di Ranica, passing by Croce del Boscone. It is a perfect excursion for a relaxing walk surrounded by greenery! 😊

Perhaps in front of this small sacred monument, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a cross, a few short sentences from Pope Francis are of interest (address of April 5, 2024): "Feel called (...) to bring into the Church and into the world a little of that immense love that compelled Jesus to die on the cross for us. May the familiar closeness to Him make you, as it was with Francis [of Assisi], ever more humble, united, joyful and essential, in love for the cross and in attention to the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this time of ours, which has so much difficulty in recognizing the presence of the Lord." (Pope Francis)

nice junction point on the Maresana paths

Beautiful panoramic peak from which you can admire many peaks of the Orobic Alps and beyond, the closest ones; Alben, Menna, Arera, Foppazzi. The climb is quite steep but does not present particular difficulties or dangers. However, you must always be careful with how much. In winter, crampons are recommended (if not mandatory in case of icy snow)
