Each of these crosses, which travelers often encounter in the fields or, as here, on mountain peaks, is a reminder of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Here on earth, His memory exists, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. Remembrance is our comfort, we who are still wanderers, traveling toward our homeland.” (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)

Because the "Gorzente Lakes Tour" would be meaningless without the lake! Jokes aside, since much of the approach trail is rather lacking in views (mostly through a wooded valley), when you finally begin to skirt the lake, the view makes all the effort worthwhile. Be careful, because following the same trail, the descent to the bridge presents some difficulties, with slippery rocks and even some short, secured sections. Hiking boots are essential, poles are useful, but not recommended in case of snow or ice!

Beautiful, pleasant and relaxing excursion even in the fog.

The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" - which I highly recommend - is dedicated to short film clips featuring UNESCO World Heritage sites from all continents and eras. This includes the "Sacri Monti" in northern Italy (there are eight of these "Sacred Mountains" in Piedmont, and a ninth in Lombardy), which are presented to culture-loving viewers in a 15-minute segment. This can be accessed in the ARD Media Library at the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/heilige-berge-in-piemont-italien-folge-396/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS84ODgxMzc2

A barren and wild environment that is worth the effort of the challenging difference in altitude that is faced immediately at the beginning of the route, then the excursion continues along the crest on panoramic ups and downs that offer views of the sea and the surrounding peaks.
