Incredible construction that stands at 1340 m on a rocky spur dominating Ceres at the confluence of the Ala and Val Grande di Lanzo valleys, accessible via paths from both Ceres and Cantoira. It is advisable to make a ring to be able to see both routes, which are very beautiful and of interesting development. Going up from Ceres you will find vestiges of the populations who inhabited the area, starting from the chapel of the A ppestati, to the small church of Madonna dell'Angelo, houses and "balms" that take us back to a time gone by. It is definitely worth the time and effort it requires. Furthermore, the return from Cantoira to Ceres is largely on a dirt road that runs close to the stream.

More than the evaluation of the sanctuary itself, this is the review of the route to reach it from Cantoira. The route, carried out in August, is quite demanding with a difference in height that begins to feel quite enough even if you are trained. The duration is approximately 1h 30 / 2h considering the pit stop. Halfway there is a fountain for drinking and bathing. I recommend leaving early, equipped with water, light and breathable clothing. On the way we came across a small gambling den. The air at the top is clean and the silence is meditative on the beauties that God has given us. I don't think it's possible to enter the sanctuary.

A fairly easy itinerary, to reach the summit where the Sanctuary of Santa Cristina is located which is perched on a rocky spur at 1340 meters, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the lower Val Grande and Val d'Ala. The party takes place on July 24th.

Reachable by walking on paths starting from Cantoria or Ceres (from which these photos refer). Very nice overview from the sanctuary.

Quiet and affordable hike for almost everyone and the 360 degree view from the top is spectacular. The gta sign gives the journey completed from departure to arrival in an hour and 45 minutes but if you are trained you can easily complete it in an hour .... Unfortunately on the summit there is no water and if you make the journey with the dog in summer it is better to take a little more with you
