울리아나/올리에나‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 산 정상

Each of the summit crosses that hikers often encounter in the mountains, whether or not it depicts the body of the crucified Christ, invites passersby to a brief spiritual pause. Perhaps one or another will be able to encounter God here in a short prayer. As a prerequisite for a completely different mystical experience of encountering God, beyond such a small sacred monument, Hape Kerkeling, who made the pilgrimage on the Camino Francés in 2001, writes: “I am becoming freer here day by day (…) Through all the frequencies of emotion, I have slowly tuned myself into one frequency and had a wonderful reception. Total serene emptiness is the state that creates a vacuum which God can then calmly and completely fill.” (Hape Kerkeling in “I’m Off Then”)

After a great tour you will be rewarded with a fantastic view.

Feels like 100 curves to the top

The statue of the Redeemer is a bronze work placed on a peak of Mount Ortobene near Nuoro, at a height of 925 metres above sea level.

At the top of Monte ORTOBENE, hikers will not find a classic summit cross, as is the case with many mountain ridges. Instead, there is a statue of the "Christo Redentore". Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer, appears to be floating above the mountain as the resurrected one, as his feet no longer touch the ground. The cross held in one hand is therefore no longer a sign of death, but has become a symbol of the overcoming of sin and death. The artist of the statue has succeeded in portraying this Christian belief in a relaxed elegance.

Mount Corrasi, the highest peak of the vast and wild Supramonte, is characterized by sheer limestone walls, towers, white spiers, caves and large plateaus. From here, at 1,463 meters above sea level, the spectacular views offer a 360 degree panorama that embraces Nuoro, Orgosolo, Dorgali, the coast of Cala Gonone and the Gennargentu.

The small campsite directly behind the hotel in the dark forest is very rudimentary and can only be recommended to a limited extent. It seems to be run rather reluctantly (it is not advertised anywhere). The hotel itself is upscale and well attended, especially at weekends. Hikers can park in front of the hotel grounds.

The somewhat exposed summit offers not only enough space to take a break but also a comprehensive panoramic view over the sea in the Gulf of Orosei to the other mountains of the Supramonte.
