Tips from the Community
Not just one cross greets the (mountain) hiker up here, but a group of three crosses – as the name "Monte TRE CROCI" suggests – we find on this mountain. A wayside cross or summit cross commemorates Jesus Christ, and always the one in the center. The two slightly smaller crosses standing to the sides were not erected here without reason: According to biblical tradition, Jesus Christ was not condemned to death by crucifixion and executed alone, but together with two criminals (see, for example, the Evangelist Luke 22:33): + "They came to the place called the Place of the Skull, and there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left." +

Spectacular view, just before going up from Saccarello there are some chains that facilitate the more delicate passages of the path (nothing particularly technical or dangerous)

The German-language television series “Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity” - which I can recommend without reservation - is dedicated to the places with UNESCO World Heritage sites on all continents and eras in short film clips. This includes the “SACRI MONTI” in northern Italy (there are a total of eight of these “Holy Mountains” in Piedmont and a ninth in Lombardy), which are presented to the culture-loving viewer in a 15-minute clip. This can be accessed in the ARD media library at the following link: => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/heilige-berge-in-piemont-italien-folge-396/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS84ODgxMzc2
