Hill separating the Cervo Valley from the Lys Valley. At the end of June 2025, high presence of mosquitoes.

a must-see on the Serra Ridge Trail

As an excursion I have continued several times to Cima Mucrone, passing by "Limbo", while when there is snow and it is good, ski-skins and climb up to here or to the ridge a little higher. From here I have also started several times with the paraglider. Panoramic and beautiful point that lends itself to many experiences, not forgetting a thought to the blessed Frassati

Great hike up to the Colle della Barma - lovely views out over Mont Mars Nature Reserve

Marian sanctuary built according to tradition in the 4th century, Oropa contains an important statue of the Black Madonna and in 1957 Pope Pius XII elevated it to a minor basilica. The climb that leads to the sanctuary was made famous by Marco Pantani's feat, perhaps the most memorable of all: in the 1999 Giro he won here with an epic comeback.

Very important climb, once you get to the sanctuary you feel at peace with yourself.

The Sanctuary of Oropa is a famous place for those who love cycling due to a historical event, perhaps the apex of Marco Pantani's career. 82nd Giro d'Italia, 30 May 1999: going up to the Sanctuary from the Cossila side, Pantani has a mechanical problem and is forced to lose contact with the leaders and recover. Gradually, thanks to an epic ride, he overtook his opponents and went on to win with twenty-one seconds over Jalabert. The last time the Giro d'Italia arrived here, at the Marian shrine dedicated to the Black Madonna, in 2017, Tom Dumoulin won.
