リメッラの絶景の山頂・トップ16

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." +

Spectacular view, just before going up from Saccarello there are some chains that facilitate the more delicate passages of the path (nothing particularly technical or dangerous)

Peak in Cusio at 1424m above sea level

In 2024, the Alpe Colma was unfortunately closed. It is necessary to descend. Even if the climb is long and arduous, you can enjoy the beautiful path down

In the heat of July and August, unless there is ventilation, it feels bad!

Top location to look forward to and enjoy. With a bit of luck, cows and goats will keep you company.

Great food, simple but clean accommodation, very nice hostess

The Alpe Baranca refuge is located in the green Baranca valley at 1600 m. Its position makes it an excellent stopping and overnight point on the GTA path and on the "Via Alpina" itinerary. For overnight stays it is always better to call 3478659385 or send an email for reservations. From the refuge you can also enjoy a beautiful panorama and you can observe roe deer, marmots and chamois.
