ムッツァーノのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The statue of this saint is located on the dirt road to the Pianetto refuge. It's easier to see if you're going uphill, but if you're going downhill, you have to look around to see it. Her name is actually Santa Esuberanza, not Esperanza.

This Biella refuge is easily reached in a couple of hours on foot, via a dirt road. There's a nice picnic area nearby, and it's open during the summer and on some weekends during the rest of the year. It's best to call to check if it's open before you set off.

Once you arrive at the Mombarone refuge, it is worth climbing up to here. The view extends to 360 ° in particular on Monte Rosa. An imposing statue is 19 meters high, the original of which was destroyed by lightning in 1948, and rebuilt in 1991. In its base, closed by a glass window, there is the statue of the Black Madonna, symbol of these Biella Alps, and in particular of the sanctuary of Oropa.
