Hiking
The Sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve or della Forcella rises in a splendid environmental context near the district of Nespello.
The Madonna della Neve is venerated there, depicted in a painting in the presbytery, but there is no documentation on any prodigious phenomena at the origin of the devotion.
The primitive oratory, already mentioned in Borromeo's apostolic visit (1575), was renovated several times and then completely rebuilt in 1927.

Located at 850 meters, it is of relatively recent construction: it was built on the ruins of an ancient chapel in the 1920s.
Inside, several valuable works including a deposition of Christ by an unknown author.
