Summit.... Breathtaking view

you cross the Sesia to get to Scopa from the Casoni di Otra after the Dinelli gorges

It is part of the Valsesia cycle path

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." +

Of this mountain, after well over a hundred climbs, I know all the sides, it's a shame that some of the slopes inside the Val Sessera, e.g. the one for Rattarun and then Alpe Boscoso then climbing to Navagli and Alpe Campo and Cima ... are, for some stretches in the lower valley, a bit swallowed up by vegetation. The normal route from Ciota to the refuge is very popular, but for example the descent via Spelonca-Cascinetta still offers a nice ring that is more "wild" and very little frequented.

Small natural lake in a quiet area with a sublime view. Great for a stop.

One of the historic and characteristic bridges of Valsesia and the adjacent valleys. From this point, going towards Alagna, the challenging climb begins.

Ancient bridge over the Sesia in one of the most iconic stretches of the river, with small beaches, pools of water and rocks from which to dive into the transparent water.
