Santa Caterina Valfurva, freedom at high altitude
In 1968 a group of young people from Brugherio Parish erected an imposing cross on top of Mount Sobretta in remembrance and memory of the young soldiers who fought here in these mountains during World War I (1915 -1918).
The centuries-old tradition of placing a cross on the top of mountains is linked to various motivations experiences and events. Many of the hikes organized with CAI Valfurva arrive right at the foot of these characteristic and always unique wooden or metal artifacts .
On Saturday, August 24, with CAI and the Brugherio Parish group, it will be possible to retrace the paths of history and memory to the 3,297 summit of Mount Sobretta.
