A beautiful and far from trivial climb, with a very pleasant landscape. Tackled on a March day from the Viù side only (both up and down) as the top of the hill and the Mezzenile side were covered in about twenty centimeters of fresh snow.

Panoramic view of Lanzo station, which from here, with the mountain backdrop and the curve of the tracks, appears like a vintage postcard.

This 13th-century church of the Confraternity of the Disciplinati di Santa Croce has been remodeled over the centuries, but retains its general 13th-century layout: in particular, the portal with a round arch, the semicircular rose window, and several small terracotta arches on the side. The exposed stone bell tower has a beautiful modern sundial (1995). It is located just outside the historic center, on Via Roma, and is worth a visit.
