Originally, the current Sanctuary dedicated to the "Madonna dei ciclisti" (Our Lady of Cyclists) was called "Madonna della Neve" (Our Lady of the Snow). Being a classic uphill route, also for some stages of the Giro d'Italia and Giro di Lombardia (in addition to many other minor races), it was later named so towards the end of the last century, considering that a small cycling museum was also created next to the church. To which, well-known cycling professionals donated their memorabilia.

A cross located on the summit of Mount Alben, truly beautiful to reach on foot from the Creste. There's also a mountain rose from which to admire and search for the visible peaks.

May 17, 25 Challenging trekking, but not stressful at all. Fascinating woodland crossing, well marked. Opening onto the upper valley emotionally rich in suggestion. The last stretch on the ridge must be covered with due caution, sometimes with the help of the hands. Suitable for expert hikers especially on a physical rather than technical level. Definitely recommended without snow! (with snow I think it's a completely different thing) The refuge along the route is excellent and the guys who manage it are exceptional.

Perhaps in front of this small sacred monument, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a cross, a few short sentences from Pope Francis are of interest (address of April 5, 2024): "Feel called (...) to bring into the Church and into the world a little of that immense love that compelled Jesus to die on the cross for us. May the familiar closeness to Him make you, as it was with Francis [of Assisi], ever more humble, united, joyful and essential, in love for the cross and in attention to the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this time of ours, which has so much difficulty in recognizing the presence of the Lord." (Pope Francis)
