Once, in the last century, gold was sought here in the rock massif.
All work has been halted due to the poor yield.
Gold diggers are now looking elsewhere for luck.
This location is being restored and will host this gold digger story in the future.

Embark on Monte Rosa Tour: Stage 4, a moderate hiking route that takes you through dramatic rock faces and expansive valleys. You will navigate high alpine environments, encountering rocky paths and potentially some snowfields, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Monte Rosa massif. This stage offers a rewarding experience, covering 4.3 miles (7.0 km) with an elevation gain of 1158 feet (353 metres), typically completed in about 2 hours and 36 minutes.
Before you set out, remember that while this specific stage is moderate, the Monte Rosa Tour as a whole is known for its challenging nature and significant elevation changes. Always check local conditions, especially for snowfields in higher alpine sections, to ensure a safe trip. Make sure you have appropriate gear for mountain hiking to fully enjoy the experience.
This particular stage is notable for its immersive alpine scenery and the chance to witness the spectacular View of Monte Rosa itself. You will also pass by the Rifugio F. Pastore (Alpe Pile), which serves as an excellent spot to pause and appreciate your surroundings. The route is part of the larger Monte Rosa Tour, offering a glimpse into the rugged beauty of Parco Naturale Alta Valsesia.
