Contacts

You can reach this small church, built in remembrance of all those who died in the Mount Cervino Skier Battalion, by foot in half an hour from the town using an easy dirt road by following the directions for the Oriondé - Segnavia Refuge no. 13. There is a fir cross erected to the left of the church to recall the Holy Mass celebrated by Pope John Paul on the 19th July 1991. A large, nearby rock hosts a bronze plaque to mark the event.
For visits, contact Mr. Giuseppe Maquignaz, tel. 0166 949119.
