Embraced by the Ossola Alps and picturesque villages with ancient vineyards, the Sacro Monte di Domodossola winds from the village of the same name to the hill of Mattarella. Here, Roman and Lombard finds – including a marble plaque from 539, reused in the walls of the medieval castle destroyed in 1415 – tell of a thousand-year-old past. A UNESCO heritage site along with the other nine sacred mountains of Piedmont and Lombardy, the complex was built in 1657 by order of the Capuchin friars Gioacchino da Cassano and Andrea da Rho.

Very rewarding route for the view.... and how many take-offs from m. Croce, with paragliding! I also continued up to m. MASSONE, then returning to the valley to the right (descending) of the ascent ridge, up to alpe Bagnone and then returning to Quaggione, beautiful. I recommend choosing a day of clear skies.

In 2024, the Alpe Colma was unfortunately closed. It is necessary to descend. Even if the climb is long and arduous, you can enjoy the beautiful path down
