History

For the 2000 Jubilee, the path that the bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati walked through in order to reach the Sanctuary of Oropa, after starting from the family villa in Pollone, was inaugurated.[1]

This track climbs on the Monte Muanda as far as the feet of the Monte Mucrone, where, on a hillock (called Poggio Frassati) an altar devoted to the Blessed has been built.[1]

Along the way there are panels with quotations of Frassati's thoughts.
